CJUST 313 - Restorative Justice (RJ)


Credits: (3)
Restorative justice (RJ) is a well-known and increasingly popular topic of discussion, research, and programming across the U.S. and abroad, especially with juveniles but also with adults. In this course, we will learn about the social, cultural, legal, philosophical, economic, and moral underpinnings of RJ. In short, we will learn about RJ from a Catholic perspective. In addition, we will also learn how RJ holds great promise for improving our criminal justice system. The available evidence is persuasive: RJ leads to better outcomes than retributive justice practices.
