Are there cases in which restorative justice will not work? Does the theory behind restorative justice presume good faith on the part of all involved? Is that likely?

Is it possible to restore justice if one gets to understand the motivations of the criminal?

Topic Overview
In this module we start to bring all three pieces together, the criminal (now with a better understanding of her or his behavior), the victim and society’s plight for restoring balance between them. The student is asked, “Are there cases in which restorative justice will not work?” They then read the remainder of the Restoring Justice text in order to incorporate it into the second discussion about restoring justice with understanding of the perpetrator’s motivation. In the written assignment the student is asked to synthesize the readings, discussions and research and write about restoring justice while considering the victim.
