Restorative justice is victim-centered, which means the first look, the first choice, the primary decision-maker in all the restorative justice process are the people who have been harmed.
Imagine a justice system that focuses on healing rather than punishment. In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch sits down with Libby Mills to discuss the transformative practice of restorative justice. Unlike traditional criminal justice, which often leaves victims and offenders feeling isolated and unheard, restorative justice aims to mend the emotional and social wounds caused by crime.
It’s a process that brings victims, offenders, and community members together in a facilitated dialogue, allowing for meaningful conversations and mutual understanding. Victims play a crucial role in deciding the outcomes, which can lead to a profound sense of closure and healing. Offenders, on the other hand, get the chance to take responsibility for their actions and make amends in a way that is constructive for all parties involved.
Libby Mills shares compelling stories of how restorative justice has been successfully applied in various scenarios, from property crimes to school disputes, and even in cases involving deceased victims. She also tackles the challenges that come with this approach, such as getting all parties to participate and the extensive preparation required. Despite these hurdles, restorative justice has shown promising results in reducing repeat offenses and fostering community healing.
The conversation doesn't stop there; Mills also compares how different countries implement restorative justice and discusses the demographics of those who participate in these programs. This episode offers a fresh perspective on how we can approach crime and rehabilitation with more compassion and effectiveness. Tune in to learn how restorative justice could be a game-changer in your community.
