•You may not use any quotations in your answers, and you may not copy any of your responses from the text or any other source (no plagiarizing!!).

•You should certainly rely on the class texts (Elliott and VanNess), class lectures and discussions in preparing your answers. You may also rely on other sources, so long as you cite them appropriately (APA format) in the text of your answer and on a separate list of references. Your response to each question may contain no more than two outside sources (e.g., not from class lecture, text, discussion, or guest lecturer). Your personal opinion and experience(s) may be included, but only as a supplement to another source

2. Elizabeth Elliott refers to Nils Christie’s “Conflict as Property” when mentioning
professionalization –what does that mean? Elizabeth Elliott refers to Christie’s “Conflict
as Property” by trying to explain how crimes are handled within the current criminal
justice system. Helping readers understand that once a crime is committed the
professionals (lawyers, judges, prosecutors, etc) steals the conflict from the rightful
owner. This is done after the crime is committed and is being handled by the court and
not the original participants. The community is also excluded in this process.
3. Explain why participation, engagement and decision making are significant to restorative
justice?
4. To Howard Zehr, restorative justice asks different questions from the ones the criminal
justice asks. An example of this is in the CJS, the first question to be asked is: what laws
have been broken? What is the correspondent question in restorative justice? Why is this
relevant to restorative justice?
A corresponding question in the eyes of restorative justice is, What harm has been
committed? This is relevant because knowing how the victim has been violated will help
in deciding what needs to take place for the healing process to begin.
5. How do we determine if a restorative justice practice was successful?
6. What are Peacemaking Circles (all of them)? How did Peacemaking Circles start? Where
did Peacemaking Circles start? Where have Peacemaking Circles been used in Chicago?
The Peacemaking Circles we learned about this semester were sentencing circles, healing
circles, and community circles. Peacemaking Circles originated on aboriginal justice
systems from the First Nations people of Canada. The first circle started in the town of
Mayo, in the Yukon Territory in Canada in 1992 (Van Ness & Strong, 2015).
Peacemaking circles have been used throughout the city of Chicago. Chicago Public
Schools has used peace circles to resolve conflicts among children at the school levels.
Circles have also been used within the Cook County Juvenile justice system, and
Chicago’s Westside Harrison’s police district (West Garfield) has also used the peace
circles to solve gang conflicts in different communities (Justice News, 2019). Chicago’s
north Lawndale community also uses peace circles I remember that from the class
lecture.
7. What does responsibility mean in restorative justice? Give an example.
Responsibility to restorative justice is where a person right there wrong doing by taking
accountability for their actions that caused the harm. They admit there faults and then
figures out the next step in the restoring process (Braithewaite, 2006). Responsibility also
deals with relationship building in the communities. An example of responsibility is,
going into a local convenience store and stealing some items off the shelf with the intent
of not paying for them and you get caught. At the time of being caught, you apologize for
your actions and ask the owner how you can make the relationship right so trust is
restored. That will allow you to continue to enter the business again.
8. Where is restorative justice practiced? In what institutions? Give two examples.
Stated in a previous question restorative justice is practiced in school institutions and the
Juvenile Court system. I personally know at the elementary level and the college level.
9. Why is restorative justice not rehabilitation and how does it serve to correct behavior?
10. How can a probation and a police officer utilize restorative justice practices to support
the /community they serve?

Restorative justice
Professor Salm
1)Name and explain the 5 main principles of restorative justice?
The first principle of restorative justice is responsibility. Responsibility not only applies to the
person who committed the unwanted behavior but for the people around the “wrong doer”. The
person who has been taking unwanted actions must take responsibility for those actions. The
person must understand the harm that is being dealt to others through their actions and work to
rectify it. The community around the wrong doer must also take responsibility for allowing the
unwanted behavior to develop, occur, and continue. The community must make a conscious
effort to understand why this behavior has come about and actively participate in helping correct
it.
The second principle of restorative justice is values. The values that our society holds to the
upmost importance need to be protected. Restorative justice is about living out those values
instead of just talking about them. For example, if you value love you should love everyone
instead of only the people you consider close.
The third and most important principle of restorative justice is relationships. The violation of
relationships is what creates the need for restorative justice. Restorative justice aims to repair the
bond between the perceived “wrong doer” the person who has been wronged and the community
at large. This healing that must take place between all three parties is what restorative justice is
all about.
The fourth principle of restorative justice is addressing the harm that has been done to the
community or a specific individual. This happens actively through participation in restorative
practices such as reasoning deliberation and modeling. Addressing the harm that a person inflicts
on another person, in a constructive non-punitive manner, allows for individuals to intrinsically
change. When we address harm through the punitive measures that try to extrinsically motivate
individuals to change, not only are they less likely to change, but the process may also change a
person for the worse.
The last principle of restorative justice is strengthening the community. The community is a web
of relationships that gets strained when someone brings harm upon another. When everyone
unites and addresses that harm collectively, not only are the individuals more likely to heal and
change but the community becomes stronger as well. With each case that the community rises
above and works collectively on together, the more prepared the community will be if more harm
is done.

2)Elizabeth Elliott refers to Nils Christie’s “Conflict as Property” when mentioning
professionalization –what does that mean?
This means that the government takes possession of conflict because any conflict that is
punishable in our society is conflict with the laws of our government. Therefore, any conflict is
considered the governments property.
3)Explain why participation, engagement and decision making are significant to restorative
justice?
Restorative justice is a collective action which requires participation from the individuals and
community involved in whatever wrongdoing that occurred. The community’s participation and
engagement are imperative to the healing of individuals involved in wrongdoing and
4)To Howard Zehr, restorative justice asks different questions from the ones the criminal justice
asks. An example of this is in the CJS, the first question to be asked is: what laws have been
broken? What is the correspondent question in restorative justice? Why is this relevant to
restorative justice?
The corresponding question in criminal justice is “what harm is being done?”. The main
difference here is when a person breaks the law, they are breaking their contract with the
government that says that that they will abide by the laws of the land. This does not address the
harm or violation of other individuals. Restorative justice aims to point out the harm being done
to specific individuals. Restorative justice cares more about healing individuals’ relationships
with each other than the governments relationship with individual people.
5)How do we determine if a restorative justice practice was successful?
We determine the success of restorative justice through the effect that it has on healing
individuals and preventing further harm from being done. This can be measured through quality
of life within a community as well as with recidivism rates among ex wrongdoers.
6)What are Peacemaking Circles (all of them)? How did Peacemaking Circles start? Where did
Peacemaking Circles start? Where have Peacemaking Circles been used in Chicago?
7)What does responsibility mean in restorative justice? Give an example.
8)Where is restorative justice practiced? In what institutions? Give two examples.
9)Why is restorative justice not rehabilitation and how does it serve to correct behavior?
The premise is that there was a violation of the law. Rehabilitation Assumes violation of the law
and criminal behavior is committed. Understanding allows a person to know rehabilitation
10)How can a probation and a police officer utilize restorative justice practices to support the
community they serve?
