This course explores the theory and practice of restorative and transformative justice. In contrast to retributive models of criminal justice, restorative justice presents an alternative model based on the principle of restoring balance. Transformative justice goes beyond restoration by seeking to change the social conditions that generated the harmful behaviour. This course will compare these models with Indigenous Justice systems, while recognizing their distinctiveness.
