Restorative Justice
The purpose of this article was to show that restorative justice is significantly more satisfying as compared to courts for both offenders and victims. This was achieved with a randomized experimental design known as Reintergrative Shaming Experiments RISE. This project is used to compare the effects of standard court processing with those of restorative justice intervention known as conferencing. In the article, the RISE data is used to examine whether conferences are equally beneficial for juvenile victims and adult victims as well (Gal, T & Moyal, 201).
The research method that was used in this article is a stratified randomized experimental design that was used to compare the outcomes of court and conference cases that were held in Canberra, Australia between 1995 and 2000. Shoplifting, drinking, property crimes and violent crimes were assigned within each other randomly to the Restorative Justice Conferences or traditional courts using a computer program. There was the use of a two-factor analysis of covariance ANCOVA for analysis of the data that was found.
The key findings of the article suggest that whereas RJ made adults more satisfied as compared to courts, conference juvenile victims were less satisfied compared to court juvenile victims. The two-factor ANCOVA showed that for all the victims conferences were more satisfying as compared to courts. Furthermore, harm that is more serious is linked to decreased process satisfaction for all victims. A qualitative analysis has been used to identify adult domination and insensitivity when it comes to the special needs of youths as recurring themes (Gal, T & Moyal, 201).
One of the limitations of the study was the fact that there was a small number of young victims that were involved in the RISE study as well as an unbalanced comparison group of the adult victims. Another limitation...
Justice as Retribution Every individual in the globe has a perception towards crime, justice, criminals, and many other aspects in relation to criminals. On hearing the term "criminal," every individual reacts differently. There are those who feel that a criminal deserves to die, others feel they should rot in prison and many other divergent views. However, does it ever occur that a criminal can be a criminal, through a legal process
What was particularly ironic was that soccer had always been a game for whites only: blacks were specifically not included. Of course, the movie had a happy ending when South Africa won the World Cup. But the World Cup didn't completely change South Africa. There is still high violence, prompted by economic conditions and a newly released set of citizens. A high percentage of residents also have Aids, another very

Curse On him who from a bending parent steals His dear support of age his darling child; III. The LOT of the POOR in the EIGHTEEN CENTURY The work of Joseph Townsend (1786) entitled: "A Dissertation on the Poor Laws" states: "Our poor laws are not only unjust, oppressive, and impolitic, nor am they merely by
4. Murder and Execution: DD -- The Young Man pleads to the blood thirsty crowd: "If you hang me to this lantern, will that make you see any clearer?" The demands of the crowd for more blood are thus momentarily stifled by the good sense of their next victim: he points out the erroneous rationale that leads them to murder and execution: it is no way to reach an ideal.

Intolerance Restoration Intolerance vs. Prodigal Similarities Differences Cultural Identities - Skillfully Blending the Ethnic Background with the American Dream The distinctiveness of a group, culture or an individual is referred to as Cultural identity. In spite of inherent differences, there is plenty of overlap between identity politics and cultural identity. The new method tries to understand the identity of an individual with an anthology of identities based on gender, history, nationality, sex, religion, aesthetics and place.
(d) Retribution serves towards a constructive purpose of -- as Braithwhite calls it -- 'restorative shame' rather than 'stigmatizing shame' In 1988, John Braithwaite published "Crime, shame, and Reintegration" where he introduced his idea of restorative shaming (Braithwaite, 1997). The conventional criminal justice stigmatizes the individual in that it not only makes him a pariah of society thereby making it harder to reform himself, but also crushes his esteem, causing others
