Q & A What do you think about our criminal justice system?

Question: What do you think about our criminal justice system?

Answer: Retributive justice and restorative justice are two very different things. 

Retributive justice is about blame, guilt and punishment. 

Restorative justice is about acknowledgement, responsibility, and accountability.

We would have a much better society if we shifted from the adversarial, retributive criminal justice system we now have to a restorative justice system which is about responsibility and accountability.
