What is Restorative Justice?

Restorative justice is a systematic response to wrongdoing that emphasizes healing the wounds of victims, offenders and communities caused or revealed by the criminal behaviour.

Practices and programs reflecting restorative purposes will respond to crime by:

1. identifying and taking steps to repair harm,
2.

involving all stakeholders, and
3.

transforming the traditional relationship between communities and their governments in responding to crime.

Some of the programmes and outcomes typically identified with restorative justice include:

· Victim offender mediation
· Conferencing
· Circles
· Victim assistance
· Ex-offender assistance
· Restitution
· Community service

Three principles form the foundation for restorative justice:

1. Justice requires that we work to restore those who have been injured.
2. Those most directly involved and affected by crime should have the opportunity to participate fully in the response if they wish.
3. Government's role is to preserve a just public order, and the community's is to build and maintain a just peace.

Restorative programmes are characterized by four key values:

1. Encounter: Create opportunities for victims, offenders and community members who want to do so to meet to discuss the crime and its aftermath
2. Amends: Expect offenders to take steps to repair the harm they have caused
3. Reintegration: Seek to restore victims and offenders as whole, contributing members of society
4. Inclusion: Provide opportunities for parties with a stake in a specific crime to participate in its resolution

I still had that "starting the industrial revolution in ancient greece" thing on the back of my mind from the speculative history thread when I came across the ouverture of meditations by Marcus Aurelius, where he openly makes the joyful inventory of his debts of love, friendship and affection etc by revealing what he owes to such n such, made me think about the anti utilitarian movment in social sciences from who I gathered that the gift, like the market, is also a way to circulate things and services between persons except that the debt in this system is invested of positive values: "I'm so in debt to X, I'll never be able to pay it off during my lifetime" is a statement of wuv and respect, it indicates an abundance rather than a poverty. I can't quite explain in details how this idea can work as a realist alternative to capitalism but for now let's say whatever(or tell me about it); the meditations of Marcus Aurelius could have been the birth of a socioeconomy that would have avoided the problems of liberalism down the line. Industralized countries going toward an altermondialisation right from the start.
So, feel free to write your debts of heart like Marcus Aurelius.

"We now know how President Bush responds to highly publicized charges that he's stacking scientific advisory panels: He gives his critics the finger and stacks another one. This morning the news broke that Bush has removed two important dissenters from the President's Council on Bioethics, one of them being the scientist and telomere expert Elizabeth Blackburn, who just so happens to be one of the most outspoken defenders of stem cell research on the panel. And Bush has replaced these thinkers with people who are much more inclined to parrot the administration's line on key issues."

suggested letter to your elected representatives:

---
Like many who look forward to a longer, healthier future of better medicine, I am appalled by the actions of President Bush with regard to stem cell and therapeutic cloning research. These fields provide the fundamental technologies required for regenerative medicine that promises near term cures for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, nerve damage, heart disease, diabetes, blindness, deafness and many other age-related conditions.

The President's recent action to further stack the deck in the President's Council for Bioethics really takes the cake, however. The President has removed two important members from the President's Council on Bioethics, one of them being the scientist and telomere expert Elizabeth Blackburn, who just so happens to be one of the most outspoken defenders of stem cell research on the panel.

The Bioethics Council did not give the President the answer he wanted to hear with its most recent report "Monitoring Stem Cell Research," despite the overwhelming anti-research bias already present. The case for research is just too strong, as I am sure you are aware. The number of lives that could soon be saved is staggering, as are the costs of delay. Now the President has demonstrated that he already knows the answer he wants to hear, and he will brazenly go ahead to make sure that this is the answer he receives. What happened to listening to your advisors first?

There is only one answer to this sort of behavior: the President's Council on Bioethics must be abolished and condemned in the strongest language possible. It is now nothing more than a rubber stamp for continuing attempts to ban and criminalize the most promising fields of medical research. Please represent your constituents in this matter and speak out in defense of research, in defense of curing disease, and in defense of longer, healthier lives.

More stuff about Nuvo
http://japan.cnet.com/2004/sharedmedia/photo/040302_zmp/pr_040302zmp3.jpg width=227 height=277.5

"The robot is 39cm tall and 2.5kg in weight, but packs in a lot; one major feature is the inclusion of an NTT DoCoMo 3G FOMA terminal that is hooked into the head camera, and it's possible to control the robot remotely using a FOMA phone while watching the headcam images in real time. It can also be controlled from a PC via Bluetooth. The Nuvo also includes a voice-recognition system."
