To be honest, all I really want out of justice systems is for things to improve from a crime. I really don't give a crap about 'making people pay for what they have done' if it just means outcasting those whose lives are often already pretty terrible. Basically, if something shitty happens, do the best we can to give help to both the victim, as to help them have peace and continue their lives, and the offender, as to help them onto a path in which crime isn't necessary and to become valuable members of society.
would you be interested in helping me i have some like minded people who might think like you if you're interested.
Step 1: use the _restorative_ approach in the home while raising offspring. At present, most parents use punishments, and by the time those kids grow up, the notion that punishment is what wrongdoers deserve is already ingrained. This is the only practical way to get the wider culture to want to implement a restorative approach when dealing with criminals. The mindset needs to be changed at source.
An excellent point. Even as religion takes root at a young age, so do concepts such as justice and reactions to injustice. Thanks for pointing that out.
^5 on that one. People don't do crime in a vacuum. Denying the humanity of the prisoners perpetuates their sense of disconnection from society. Many a victim survived by connecting to the sense of community within the perpetrator. One older lady saw a big young man coming toward her with ill intent. When he got close, she turned to him and asked "don't I know you're mother?" The guy stopped and looked very confused. He no longer saw her as a person to steal from, but his mother's friend. People need connection, especially the kind of person who is so disconnected that they hurt people.
Steve, have you heard about the "Gacaca" courts that were used in the aftermath of the Rwandan Genocide? It was a form of restorative justice that you'd probably find interesting.
dude im all the way in south africa about write an exams about and you have just saved my life
lol did you pass?
that is a better way of course but non-violent communication and the scientiffic mehtod is even more efficient :)
If the offender dont belive him/herself to have Done anything wrong this wont work
This reminds me of a scene from the Ray Harrihausen animated classic "Clash of the Titans." After Perseus chops of the monstrous Prince Calibo's hand in order to solve a riddle and win the hand of Andromeda, Calibos stumbles into the temple of the goddess Thetis, his mother, and says;
"Look at what he (Perseus) did to me! By injuring me, he has insulted YOU. I DEMAND justice!"
To which Thetis replies "Justice? Or revenge?"
I think a restorative justice system, as you describe, would only work effectively in small communities. Large cities would have trouble making that sort of system function well.
idk why I haven't been on your channel until now but lovin these videos
Can you give me more concrete examples about what this would entail?
What do you do with a serial killer? Someone who commits genocide? It's a lovely idea for small offenses, but how do you allow a killer back out on the streets?
A mix of the two would be best.
I think the earlier we deal with justice in this way the more effective it can be. I realize that offenders might be outsiders but this is an issue best dealt with by re-evaluating the offender. A high bar to set but as a society it's holding us accountable, also.
Great video!
Even as a kid, I could never understand the *real* difference between our forms of justice and a random individual seeking revenge for an offense IN PRINCIPLE.
This, and Michael Moore's "Where to Invade Next" have given me a lot of food for thought in regards to what can be done better in our country. (BTW, Steve: have you seen "Where to Invade Next"?)

I can see how restorative justice would rule in cases of theft, arson, and assault (restitution for property loss/damage, and helping pay for medical expenses for instance) but what about cases of treason, murder, or rape? How does one restore community in the face of these crimes? I'm singling these out because while the other cases might be due to survival, accident, or misunderstanding, how does one have extenuating circumstances for treason, murder, or rape?
I'm NOT saying restorative justice isn't the way to go. I'm just curious as to how we would practice it. I'm not a legal expert, so I don't know how this would work, and I would appreciate an informed discussion about the matter.
I guess that the restorative justice system can go on for awile so the victim can not feel afraid of the offender and I mean years by talking to offender over time it could build a sense of not feeling scared and once the years are up they go separate ways and never see each other again
I'm not sure just giving an idea
I do think there is away though because those 2 crimes re offend rate are quite low
I hope the person who steals large sums, banker CEO's, get their fair share of prison after their restitution ($$$,$$$,&&&,$$$)or are they a _special_ class of people...

Interesting. I must admit to being a bit skeptical. It seems like bias would be even harder to combat in this system, with different people treated very differently,... on purpose.
Of course, I have _zero_ sympathy for criminals, and that probably affects my skepticism, too. Certainly, it's interesting, and I'd like to see us take the idea seriously, at least.

I have no sympathy for 'monsters,' but I oppose capital punishment for one very good reason: We're not infallible. And we're never going to _be_ infallible.
In order to execute a 'monster,' you first have to find him and identify him. Sometimes, we make mistakes. That's inevitable. We can minimize it, but there will never be a time when human beings don't make mistakes.
It's bad enough that we should lock up an innocent man, but to execute him would be absolutely disgusting. But we've done it before.
And note that there's zero reason _for_ capital punishment - it's not a deterrent, it's not cheaper, nothing. Cowardice and bloodlust are about the only reasons to push it, and I'd say that those are both pretty bad reasons.
I have no idea how abortion fits into that, but I don't care enough to ask. I oppose capital punishment because we're fallible creatures.
Is there such a thing as a victimless crime? Interested to read people's opinions.
