Restorative Justice

Group 137

Learn  how restorative justice could work in our communities and may be more effective than our current retributive justice system.

Join us at 7 pm on Wednesday, July 26th for a virtual meeting on the topic of Restorative Justice. Our guest speakers will be Susan Swope, Mediator in the Juvenile Offender Mediation Program, San Mateo County Courts; and Terry McCaffrey, AIUSA Western Region Death Penalty Abolition Coordinator. You can register here, and we’ll send Zoom info to all registrants prior to the meeting. 
Very basically, the US currently employs a system of Retributive Justice that focuses on punishment of offenders, whereas Restorative Justice is a participatory process in which people affected by a particular offense, including the victims, offenders, and the community, come together to collectively resolve the situation. 
While Amnesty International has not adopted restorative justice as a human rights campaign issue, and it is not codified as a human right under international law, some in the organization are beginning to look at the issue and how it might fit into a human rights agenda. So we hope you’ll join us to learn more about this intriguing topic!
