Justiça restaurativa : uma leitura e partir do viés ético

Abstract

Restorative justice emerged in the 1970s as a new way of doing justice. It differs from punitive and distributive methods, whose predominant concern involves the violation of the norm. Restorative practices are thought of as processes in which the people affected by the offending act - victim, aggressor, family and/or community - seek, through their testimonies, to repair and satisfy the needs arising from the conflict situation. The general objective of the work is to discuss the ethical reflections about the restorative practices as a way to reach justice, and to search, through specific objectives, to present the main conceptions of justice and ethics; to understand the passage from the conception of retributive justice to the conception of restorative justice; to conceptualize the guiding concepts of restorative justice; to interpret ethically the principles and guiding objectives of the Municipal Restorative Peacemaking Program. This work aims to propose, through an exploratory qualitative bibliographic research, ethical reflections about restorative practices as a way to achieve justice. The exploratory design was chosen because its main objective is to present a panorama of the delimited field of research, in order to point out concepts, areas of action and points of interface of the researched theme. The exploratory research will allow the researcher to refine ideas and build hypotheses from the results obtained. It seems to be ideal so that the objective - to propose ethical reflections regarding restorative practices as a way to achieve justice - can be reached. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
