SOCW 5410 - Special Topics in Juvenile Justice (3)
Restorative Justice offers a refreshingly different framework for thinking about wrongdoing. It moves beyond the confines of traditional justice systems to embrace social justice principles. The course will be structured around intensive readings in restorative justice in correctional and juvenile justice settings globally and in community and correctional settings in the United States. The course offers students an opportunity to study the leading restorative justice practices to explore the possibilities that restorative justice offers to move beyond the limitations of retributive justice. The goal is to increase students’ knowledge of how different cultures have utilized the community corrections movement and to note how, despite vast cultural differences, many countries have adopted similar practices. Moreover, one of the ultimate objectives of this class is to encourage students to critically examine if, how, and whether these international practices could be adopted here in the United States.
