Restorative Justice seems based on the possible belief that someone who commits a crime is inherently good, but because of society or whatever you want to fill in the blank here, they just haven’t been given a chance. To me it seems like a very philosophical way of looking at criminal justice, perhaps through rose tinted glasses. Mr. Boudin strikes me as someone who has a personal score to settle with the justice system, or perhaps society as a whole, and is willing to buy into this philosophy to achieve his goals. Regardless of its actual results. I’m feeling a bit pessimistic about this, because I don’t think crime prevention, reduction, and the general protection of society, is something we can leave to a philosophical question. It requires direct action and fast results.
