This week’s articles focus on critiques of restorative justice while the textbook chapters examine implementing restorative justice practices in different systems and opportunities for transformation.

Consider some of your own thoughts, opinions, and questions:

Do you think restorative justice practices could be adapted or changed to better suit situations where restorative justice is not effective in its current form? Explain.
*Optional: This is our final online discussion. Feel free to add any final thoughts that you think would be valuable to the group or questions that you would like to discuss with your peers.
Use the articles, Zoom discussions, and text to support your response. You will be focusing on the concept of Restorative Justice as a whole, not on one specific theory or practice. Support your response with evidence from the texts
