RJ
It isn't about what you or I think about Restorative justice - it is about what is referenced and sourced. Almost universally references to the term state that it has its roots squarely within criminal justice and almost always involves all stakeholders to a crime/harm (see Zehr, Van Ness, Walgrave, Braithwaite and most other leading researchers into the subject).

Hey sorry just saw your message 11 years later! I believe Howard Zehr, Dan Van Ness and John Braithwaite would all agree that "Almost universally" or "almost always" does not mean RJ cannot be used for civil problems or that all the stakeholders must be involved. Braithwaite wrote Responsive Regulation about RJ and civil cases and Howard has also said involves stakeholders as possible. Lorenn (talk) 16:09, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
