“…However, this effect was small and perceptions of legitimacy were not found to place a mediating role in this relationship (Beijersbergen, Birkzwager & Nieuwbeerta, 2015) Finally, the utilization of RJ in adjudications also represents a potential opportunity for advancing the spread of restorative justice more generally in society. The closed environment of the prison should prove a fertile ground for establishing restorative practices, as RJ has found some of its greatest successes to be in institutional environments like schools and universities (Karp & Sacks, 2014). However, once embedded in such institutions, there would likely be impacts outside of the prison as well.…”

“…In particular, RJ is making clear in-roads into mainstream, institutional environments, settling disputes and addressing disciplinary infractions on college campuses (Karp & Sacks, 2014) and schools (McCluskey, 2015), for example 1 . However, the use of RJ for dealing with more serious adult crimes remains controversial and rare across justice systems, even in jurisdictions like Northern Ireland and New Zealand where restorative approaches has become mainstreamed across other domains of society.…”

ABSTRACT:The movement for restorative justice (RJ) has struggled with marginalization on the soft end of the criminal justice system where the threat of net widening and iatrogenesis looms large. To realize the full potential of RJ as an alternative philosophy of justice, restorative practices need to expand beyond the world of adolescent and small-level offences into the deeper end of the justice system. Disciplinary hearings inside of adult prisons may be a strategic space to advance this expansion. This paper presents findings from a study of prison discipline in four UK prisons.The findings strongly suggest that in their current form, such disciplinary proceedings are viewed by prisoners as lacking in legitimacy. Although modeled after the adversarial system of the criminal court, the adjudications were instead universally derided as 'kangaroo courts', lacking in the basic elements of procedural justice. Based on these findings, we argue that restorative justice interventions may offer a viable redress to these problems of legitimacy which, if successful, would have ramifications that extend well beyond the prison walls.

“…Whereas the RJ-based STARR program utilized language consistent with goals espoused in the contemporary student conduct literature (e.g., harm, repair, dialogue, trust, voluntary, agreement), the Model Code language was dominated by conventional justice and punitive sanctioning (e.g., witness, charges, hearing, suspension, expulsion). In a 2014 study comparing outcomes of more than 600 student conduct cases at 18 US educational institutions, RJ approaches were found to better meet student conduct goals than the quasi-criminal justice processes created through institutional adaptations of the Model Code (Karp and Sacks 2014). The study assessed six conduct process learning outcomes, and for each one, resolution model type (RJ, RJ combined with traditional resolution, or Model Code) was the most important predictor of success.…”

In recent years, federal and institutional policymakers have begun to recognize victims' desires for alternative responses to traditional investigation, adjudication, and sanctioning for sexual misconduct. Despite scientific literature showing that non-adversarial accountability responses to sexual violence, such as restorative justice, can be used safely and effectively, federal and institutional policies have been slow to expand options. This chapter describes conventional adversarial campus judicial response and sanctioning and the role of Title IX in shaping campus sexual misconduct processes and contrasts what guidelines refer to as formal and informal resolution under Title IX. Specifically, the chapter describes innovative approaches to resolution based on restorative justice principles and outlines how alternative choices would better map onto victim's expressed justice

Restorative justice (RJ) holds significant potential as a means for nurturing relational school cultures and addressing harm within those contexts. However, educators participating in professional development (pd), often articulate a commitment to RJ in principle but tend to continue practicing a pedagogy that focuses on controlling student (mis) behavior apart from its relational context. Considering the strong philosophical perspective of humanity on which RJ is grounded, this phenomenological case study examines the impact of pd that explicitly (a) engages with core beliefs and values of RJ and (b) invites participants to examine their personal philosophical stance. Employing theory guided analysis and poetic inquiry to examine participants' reflections nine months following their experience, results indicate that commitment and practice are better aligned. Significant change in perspectives emerge of self; others; current practice; and group engagement. A list of recommended components for professional development conclude the article.
