CRJU 533 - Transformative Justice in the Community

(3 credits)
Transformative justice is a political framework and approach for responding to violence, harm and abuse. It seeks to solve the challenge of violence at the grassroots level, without relying on the state (e.g., police, prisons, the criminal/legal system) through examination of how social structures and circumstances contribute to harmful behaviors. This course will apply the principles and practices of restorative justice to transformative community-based approaches in preventing crime and repairing its damage. Issues of race, gender, economic class and international programming will be explored. Offered annually.
