“…In both study 1a and 1b, at the low end of the severity scale there was a positive relationship between severity and willingness to meet the offender. This is consistent with studies in which some victims say they chose not to take part because the offense was too minor (Gustafson, 2005; Hoyle, 2002; Kirkwood, 2010; Umbreit et al, 2002). It is also consistent with Coates et al (2003) finding that more victims of gross misdemeanors or felonies went on to meet the offender compared to victims of misdemeanors.…”

“…If the offense was violent, participants were less willing to meet the offender (supporting H2). This relationship may partially explain why some victims say the severity of the crime would prevent them from meeting the offender (Gustafson, 2005; Umbreit et al, 2002; Van Camp & Wemmers, 2016), even though there does not appear to be any evidence for an overall relationship between severity and willingness to meet. If the effect of violence could be isolated, it may indeed make victims less willing to meet the offender, especially as they are likely to overestimate the intensity and duration of the resultant feelings (Wilson & Gilbert, 2005).…”

“…Perhaps, for example, victims of midlevel crimes are more willing to meet the offender than victims of both very minor and very serious crimes. The possibility of a peak in willingness at the midlevel of severity would align with qualitative studies in which some victims were unwilling to participate because the offense was not serious enough, while others were unwilling because the offense was too serious (Gustafson, 2005; Umbreit et al, 2002; Wemmers & van Hecke, 1992 1 ), implying that there is a midlevel of severity at which they would be most likely to participate. No studies have explicitly tested the hypothesis that the relationship between severity and victim willingness to communicate is curved, although findings from my prior research are indicative of a nonlinear relationship (Batchelor 2017).…”

Policy and practice are often based on the assumption that victims of serious crimes are less willing to take part in restorative justice schemes than victims of minor crimes, despite a mix of contradictory existing evidence. The current studies use data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) to investigate predictors of victim willingness to meet the offender, using logistic regression models and path analysis. Study 1a was exploratory (CSEW years 2015−17), study 1b was a preregistered replication of study 1a (CSEW years 2017–2020). No support was identified for a negative or curved relationship between overall severity of the crime and willingness to meet the offender. Other dimensions of severity had varied independent effects; victims were more willing to meet when the crime had more impact on them, but less willing to meet when the offense had been violent. The relationship between violence and willingness to meet was partially mediated by the response of the criminal justice system, that is, police were more likely to have taken action when the crime was violent, and victims were less willing to meet the offender when the police had taken action. Overall, the findings suggest that victims of serious offenses should not be excluded from offers of meeting with the offender. The counterintuitive nature of the identified relationships indicate that exclusion criteria should be based on robust evidence not on intuition, and third parties should not make decisions on behalf of victims.

“…Além do mais, o/a jurista que vê somente o Estado como espaco próprio para as práticas restaurativas, não entende os princípios que regem essa forma de justiça e acaba sendo um rábula dentro dos estudos restaurativos. (ELLIOT; GORDON, 2005) A par dessas premissas teóricas, passa-se à construção de Morrison (2005) no sentido de factibilidade e procedimentalidade da Justiça Restaurativa, apresentando-se alguns passos e práticas (cumulativa e contextualizadamente) que podem ser adotadas em casos de conflito, como se refere a autora:…”

“…(ZEHR, 2006, p. 411) Como foi sugerido pela professora Elizabeth Elliott em conferência sobre Justiça Restaurativa 7 , esta, como um tipo ideal de justiça (e de certa forma também em suas práticas), tem sua existência e o seu conhecimento baseados numa consciência assentada em duas principais características ou principios: (i) na ética da responsabilidade coletiva (o que a professora Elizabeth Elliott comentou sobre os valores universais); e (ii) nas relações interpessoais. (ELLIOT; GORDON, 2005) Isso implica que este modelo de justiça leve em consideração a multidimensionalidade humana (RAMOS, 1981;ROSS, 1996;SALM, 2009). Isto significa que o ser humano deixa de ser um ser unidimensional (o ofensor, a vítima, a ladra, a assassina, o bêbado, o viciado, o traficante, o estuprador) e passa a ter várias faces (vítima, ofensor, pai, mãe, filho, filha, católico, protestante, judeu, preto, branco, heterossexual, homossexual, mulher, homem, trabalhador, desempregado, líder comunitário, deputado, professor, médico, carpinteiro, músico, artista, pessoa feliz, rancorosa, odiosa, triste, ansiosa, tranquila, teimosa, bondosa, caridosa, etc...).…”

Resumo: O presente trabalho traz os postulados teóricos da Justiça Restaurativa em sua matriz originária, a partir de um objetivo de alternativa de sociabilidade e incluso neste processo uma juridicidade autóctone e emancipatória. Fazendo-se como um processo complexo de construção social democrática e dialogal, voltada ao presente e ao futuro, assim como também de resgatar os laços sociais e de solidariedade, pautado pelo princípios de coprodução e do contato-inter-relacionamento e interdependência. Assim, se analisa em que contexto jurídico, fatico e epistemológico se insere a necessidade de irrupção de dinâmicas alternativas de sociabilidade e de resolução de conflitos. Partindo-se ainda do pressuposto teórico que é prescindir do Estado, que deixa de ser o órgão central da estrutura social e regulatória, para se tornar, na melhor das hipóteses, contribuinte de uma dinâmica sócio e culturalmente construída de emancipação e sociabilidade.

Justicia restaurativa y su relación con la empatía y los valores Sociales

Con el propósito de conocer cómo se relacionan los indicadores psicosociales, caracterizados por la empatía y los valores sociales, se realizó un estudio cuasiexperimental de Justicia Restaurativa (JR) en el que participaron 187 sujetos pertenecientes a la población general, con una media de edad de 40.27 (DE = 12.32) años. Éstos fueron asignados al azar a un supuesto sobre JR que contenía 3 condiciones (desafiante, arrepentimiento e impunidad) y cuestiones sobre la gestión del delito, como son: el castigo, el diálogo, la responsabilización y la reparación. Además, los participantes cumplimentaron escalas sobre emociones negativas (α = 0.81), empatía (α = 0.72) y valores sociales (α = 0.76). A través de análisis correlacionales (r de Pearson) y de comparación de medias (prueba t y ANOVA) se constató que la emoción que se siente con más intensidad, ante el delito que sufre otra persona, es el enfado, existiendo diferencias en función de las actitudes desafiante y de arrepentimiento mostradas por el agresor, para el conjunto de emociones negativas, así como para la posibilidad de aceptar el diálogo entre las partes. El hecho de poseer alta amabilidad empática hace que se faciliten los procesos de JR caracterizados por la responsabilización y la reparación, mientras que los valores de conservadurismo (tradición y seguridad) se vincularon con el castigo. Todos estos hallazgos permiten avanzar en el estudio de la JR, la empatía y los valores sociales.
