Arguments for Indigenous Criminal Justice
From: Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice
$1.30
Chapter 8 explores how Indigenous communities are making full use of contemporary adaptations of their past justice practices that parallel restorative justice. As of yet, there is not a universally accepted definition of restorative justice, but it can be thought of as a justice process that includes the participation of anyone who may have been affected by the crime (and not necessarily limited to lawyers and judges), with the goal of searching for alternatives to imprisonment. The chapter does this by exploring how Indigenous Justice and Restorative Justice relate, what Alternatives to Incarceration looks like, pushes for Greater Victim Inclusion, and working against recidivism through the practice of encouraging the offender to be Responsible and repairing relationships with their community.
