5 reasons “restorative justice” needs a re-brand….and why lawyers should care 🤔👀🍃 1// words matter, because they’re the building blocks of consciousness and communication 2// “restorative justice” is an oxymoron 3// it’s like saying compassionate execution or emotionally-intelligent shaming…it’s contradictory 4//“justice” is a historically charged noun, evoking scales, pound for a pound, imperial/patriarchal/religious concepts of right and wrong, crime and punishment as a fundamentally failed Hammurabi paradigm espoused as deterrent but data says only increases costs, decreases victim satisfaction and increases recidivism. 5// “restorative” is an adjective, but it should be a verb. Imagine “repairing” or “transforming” or….”working through the messy shit of being human and living in community in ways that don’t cause more harm and dis-ease.” So yeah. This is something I’m thinking through. —- 🐝✌️hi, I’m Ryan. I'm founder of High-Five JD Hive a mastermind of legal visionaries and changemakers. DM to join..
