| مستخلص: |
The state and federal criminal justice systems in the United States aim to achieve two main goals: retribution and deterrence. However, neither of those goals are being effectively achieved. Retribution is lacking as victims are not able to seek justice on their own terms, offenders are never forced to take accountability for their actions, and society continues to pay the price for the harm done. Criminals are also not being effectively deterred, as recidivism rates are high, and incarceration is not an effective punishment. Three non-traditional justice systems: tribal courts, the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and Rwandan Gacaca courts, have been practicing principles of restorative justice that would be more successful in providing retribution and deterrence than the current United States systems. This paper examines the infrastructure and principles behind the three systems and creates a modified restorative justice system to replace the current retributive system in the United States.
