Paradigm Shift Retributive Justice Vs.• What rule/law was
broken?• Who broke it?• How do we punish
them?
Restorative Justice• What harm was
caused and to whom?
• What needs and obligations were created?
• How can we as a community, repair the harms?“…because crime hurts,
justice should heal…”
- Braithwaite
