Paper details
It has been said that the emergence of the restorative justice model can be attributed to the failure of the traditional justice system model, excessive use of incarceration, the over-representation of Aboriginal persons in correctinal facilities, and the alienation of victims of crime and the lack of response to their needs. (Roach, 2000: Law Commission of Canada, 2003: Hudson, 2003).
Does the restorative justice model successfully address these perceived failures of the traditional justice model?
Your answer should include:
-What restorative justice is;
-How does restorative justice differ from the traditional criminal justice model; and
-How has restorative justice been practically developed in Canada?
This is a research assignment and as such I expect clear reference all material and idea’s taken from other sources.
