“…This way of life influenced and directed the way these communities responded to crime and disputes between members. Reconciliation formed the basis of this process (Mangena, 2015;Skelton, 2007).…”

“…It has been asserted by African scholars that the traditional African method of administering justice is very similar (if not exactly the same) as restorative justice (Mangena, 2015;Tshehla, 2004;Tutu, 1999). In confirmation of this claim, Skelton (2007) highlights several factors common in both traditional African justice and restorative justice: both processes aim for reconciliation and restoring peace in the community; both approaches promote social norms which emphasise community duty as well as individual rights; dignity and respect are considered to be central values; both processes share the view that a crime is a harm done to the individual and the broader community; simplicity and informality of procedure are common features of both approaches; the law of precedent does not apply to the outcomes of either process; community participation is actively encouraged in both processes; and restitution and compensation are highly valued by both traditional African justice and restorative justice.…”

“…No Paquistão, os programas de Justiça Restaurativa são apontados como uma forma de contribuir na diminuição de ciclos de violência e vingança, através de comitês locais. Na África, os princípios da Justiça Restaurativa possuem raízes profundas, onde o senso de comunidade é mais importante que o individual, sendo tanto os conflitos como as conquistas compartilhados coletivamente (Mangena, 2015). A Justiça Restaurativa também tem sido apontada como uma maneira de contribuir na restituição de terras às vítimas do conflito armado na Colômbia (Saffon, 2010).…”

“…Nesse sentido, ela pode também reparar a sua dor de forma diferenciada, compreendendo as razões do ofensor e contribuindo para que ele possa encontrar um espaço melhor para a sua reintegração social (Ribeiro, 2013). Quanto ao ofensor, passar por este processo também permite que ele repare o dano ou o prejuízo causado e sempre que possível vá além de um reparo simples, oferecendo restituição e ajuda para os outros como para ele mesmo (Eglash em Mangena, 2015). Para os familiares, há também benefícios, pois colaboram na reconstituição de vínculos e na construção de algo valioso a partir de seus pró-prios recursos (Olalde, 2014 Tendo em vista estudos que contemplam a Justiça Restaurativa como uma prática possível no campo da socioeducação (Aguinsky & Capitão, 2008;Capitão & Rosa, 2008;Konzen, 2007;Limberger, Mella, & Baumkarten, 2013), percebe-se que há avanços significativos.…”

Resumo:A atenção aos adolescentes brasileiros em conflito com a lei requer avanços na concretização dos direitos previstos na legislação. Entre esses direitos, está a realização de círculos restaurativos, que necessitam ser considerados. Para tanto, objetiva-se analisar os círculos restaurativos a partir da visão dos envolvidos sobre a participação do adolescente em conflito com a lei. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, de caráter qualitativo. Onze envolvidos nos círculos restaurativos participaram da pesquisa, respondendo a uma entrevista semiestruturada, entre eles dois adolescentes. Os dados foram analisados e dispostos em três categorias estabelecidas a posteriori: percepção dos adolescentes sobre o círculo restaurativo; percepção dos envolvidos no círculo restaurativo sobre a participação do adolescente; e mudança de visão dos participantes sobre o adolescente em conflito com a lei. Constatou-se que os adolescentes percebem o círculo restaurativo como uma possibilidade de responsabilização e de buscar o perdão da vítima, diante de seu arrependimento. Os participantes veem de maneira positiva a realização do círculo, principalmente desfazendo preconceitos para com o adolescente. Entretanto, alguns participantes demonstram incertezas quanto ao futuro do adolescente. Sugere-se um acompanhamento posterior ao círculo restaurativo, a fim de que o adolescente tenha o apoio necessário na mudança de vida. Abstract:The attention to Brazilian adolescents in conflict with the law requires advances in the implementation of rights as prescribed by the legislation. Among these rights we have the employment of restorative circles, which need to be considered. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the restorative circles from the perspective of those involved in the participation of adolescents in conflict with the law. Eleven subjects involved in restorative circles (among them two adolescents) participated in this descriptive and qualitative research by answering a semistructured interview. The data was analyzed and placed in three categories established ex post facto to the adolescents' perception on the restorative circle; the perception of the subjects involved in the restorative circles about the teenagers' participation; and the change of perception of the participants concerning adolescents in conflict with the law. It was found that adolescents perceive the restorative circle as a possibility of accountability and seek forgiveness from the victim, due to his or hers repentance. Participants perceive the realization of the circle positively, mainly dispelling prejudices towards the adolescents. However, some participants show doubts about the future of the adolescents. A follow-up after the restorative circle is suggested, so that adolescents have the necessary support in changing their way of life.Palavras-chave: adolescente, socioeducação, justiça restaurativa.

This article has two objectives, both of which are new. First, it presents a new framework of punishment in nine dimensions, which makes it possible to distinguish systematically between different conceptualizations of the nature of punishment. Second, using the framework, it discusses the relationship between restorative justice and punishment, showing that some cases of restorative justice constitute punishment from the perspectives of some of the punishment positions in the framework but not for others. Thus, according to some positions, restorative justice (mediation, conferences, circles, etc.) is punishment.
