Discussion: Restorative Justice and Adversarial Systems
The adversarial approach to justice involves the apprehension, adjudication, punishment, and, at times, rehabilitation of an offender, with little to no input from the victim. Conversely, the restorative justice approach is less rigid and formulaic and encourages input from the victim.
In this Discussion, you examine the underlying principles of restorative justice and how they differ from the traditional adversarial approach. You also consider the pros and cons of each approach.
Post a response that addresses the following:
What are the underlying principles of restorative justice?
How do these principles differ from those associated with the traditional, adversarial approach?
