Restorative Justice is not enough
▪ Restorative justice is frequently offered as the alternative to punitive approaches.
▪ Restorative justice is great for developing social cognition and emotional intelligence and
for repairing relationships.
▪ It does not address the very reason the child struggled in the first place.
▪ If I crash into your car, I can restore justice with gifts and funding repairs. Yet, it will not
make me a better driver tomorrow. I need to address why it went wrong and change my
driving for that to happen.
