| Description | In Canada, most crimes that come to the attention of the police are dealt with using the criminal justice system (CJS). The traditional CJS uses an adversarial approach which situates the lawbreaker against the government. Restorative justice (RJ) approaches offer an alternative to the CJS by focusing on the harm caused by the offending party's actions, while actively involving victims, families, community members and the offender in a resolution. This course explores the history, philosophy, and strategies of RJ, while also considering its current application in Canada. |
