Howard Zehr, the “grandfather of the restorative justice movement”, visited Copenhagen in the fall of 2008 One night at the University of Copenhagen by the end of a well-attended lecture, Zehr took stock of the present state of the restorative justice movement He described how, back in the early days when the movement was still struggling to gain foothold, overly enthusiastic advocates had perhaps gone too far in painting a rosy picture of the potential of restorative justice Zehr stressed how things had now changed As restorative justice had increasingly gained influence on actual criminal justice systems around the world, it had also matured considerably Restorative justice was now a responsible and self-critical movement The days of telling only “butterfly stories” of almost miraculous, mutual healing of victim and offender were gone Today, proponents were well aware of the importance of telling also the “bullfrog stories” of restorative justice Stories of the conferences where everything goes wrong and all leave the process being even worse off Around the audience, several of whom were declared supporters of restorative justice, there were grave nods of approval All seemed to be aware indeed of the importance of remaining critical Of not getting carried away in blind support In the two talks I heard Zehr give during his stay, he did not tell one bullfrog story Chapter Introductory Remarks A title should be informative of the contents of the work it designates So looking to the title of this work one might think that I am heading for trouble Indeed, I have even thought so a couple of times myself – for instance, when I first showed it to a colleague who, after some silence, responded dryly: “Well, if you can’t take it seriously yourself…” But, however jaunty and apparently unsuitable for an academic work that actually does propose to be taken seriously, I think there is some sense to made of the title after all And so I might as well spend (parts of) the following introductory remarks belabouring the point and try to explain why I nevertheless find the title both fitting and informative of the contents of the present work Hopefully, this will help guide the reader through the pages to come On the general character and subject of this thesis The first consideration has to with genre This PhD thesis is not a monograph but consists of a collection of articles that have each been produced with a view to publication in scholarly journals.1 As are the well-known premises for such articles, they are each supposed to constitute completed arguments that, while they may refer to and rely to some degree on other works, should ideally constitute self-explanatory and self-contained narratives Accordingly, the present work does not pursue one thesis that unites it, nor does it establish one single conclusion Strictly, this makes for a nominalistic definition: the only thing that holds the articles together besides the binding is the author and the three year (plus) time period during which it was written But this, of course, is not entirely I have therefore not changed the papers substantially for this thesis I have only collected the references into one standardised reference list, unified the reference style and added an index Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Restorative Justice true.2 And the title is supposed to reflect this fact Instead of postulating one uniting hypothesis and urge a classical “reading for the plot”, it is meant to signal that this is a work that covers various aspects of the same overarching subject, viz restorative justice Like the entries in Doctor Reuben’s original3, each article can therefore be read and studied independently of the other Even still, this is obviously not a comprehensive study Since its modern day revival in the 1970s and 1980s, restorative justice has ramified wildly into a massive social movement that encompasses worldwide initiatives involving responses to anything from school bullying over ordinary crime in national jurisdictions to mass violence in the shape of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes Some have even suggested a transformative conception of restorative justice as a way of life that obliges us to “abolish the self … and instead understand ourselves as inextricably connected to and identifiable with other beings and the ‘external’ world.” (Johnstone & Van Ness 2007, p 15) An exhaustive treatment of all of these aspects of restorative justice would take more than one man and a few years and the result could hardly be contained in a single volume Trusting, therefore, that the irony of the title carries through, this thesis obviously does not contain everything the reader would like to know about restorative justice I have indeed done some weeding out First and foremost, this thesis is not about restorative justice as a way of life, nor is it about conflict resolution in the schoolyard, at the workplace or elsewhere My focus is on restorative justice as it is used in relation to crime, primarily in the context of domestic jurisdictions (cf chapters 2-4 and 7) but also in the context of international crime (cf chapters and 6) Taking this focus places me in a tradition that counts Nils Christie’s seminal article “Conflicts as Property” (1977) and Howard Zehr’s Changing lenses : a new focus for crime and justice (2005 [orig 1990]) as If so, this thesis would at least also have included an article on the Danish caricature crisis (Holtermann & Nielsen 2006) and a chapter on Alf Ross’ epistemology (Holtermann 2006) from the anthology Alf Ross Kritiske gensyn (Holtermann & Ryberg 2006) David Reuben’s taboo-breaking bestseller Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) was first published in 1969 It was loosely adapted into a comedy film in 1972 by Woody Allen Introductory Remarks important theoretical starting points.4 Proponents in this tradition generally share a widespread scepticism with regard to the traditional criminal justice system and its preferred measures of trial and punishment, and a corresponding enthusiasm for responses to crime that involve, instead, the immediate stakeholders in deliberative processes such as victim-offender mediation, conferences and circles Regardless of the nuances between them, these are all processes “where the parties with a stake in a specific offence resolve collectively how to deal with the aftermath of the offence and its implications for the future.” (Marshall 2003, p 28) Even still, this loose agreement leaves much to be debated in the advocacy for restorative criminal justice In particular, it leaves questions regarding the scope of restorative justice processes; questions that in turn have led to heated definitional debates One starting point for these debates has been the growing awareness that not all crimes lend themselves equally well to deliberative processes between stakeholders However successful the restorative justice movement, there will inevitably be some cases that are unfit for such processes; cases involving, for instance, openly uncooperative, hardened and dangerous offenders This has led so-called purist proponents to stress the procedural element as a sine qua non for criminal justice responses to be genuinely restorative (cf e.g McCold 2000, 2004) Accordingly, such purists stick close to the above words of Marshall as constituting the definition of restorative justice On this interpretation, restorative justice aligns itself closely with the abolitionist view on punishment according to which any use of coercive measures is morally unjustifiable However, other, so-called maximalist proponents assess that a definition strictly in terms of process: … leaves restorative justice advocates with nothing to say regarding the way cases should be dealt with that – for whatever reason – not lend themselves to some form of informal offence resolution process (Dignan 2002, p 175) Even though at least Christie’s article has also been highly influential beyond the criminal justice tradition that is my focus

166f;175 219 Dansk resumé1 Emnet for denne ph.d.-afhandling er det filosofiske grundlag for genoprettende ret (restorative justice) forstået, ikke som denne eller hin konkrete strafferetlige proces, men som en samlet teori om forbrydelse og retfærdighed, dvs som en sammenhængende teori der tilbyder generelle retningslinjer for håndteringen af forbrydelsers efterspil i overensstemmelse med et eller flere overordnede mål og/eller principper Afhandlingen undersøger karakteren og holdbarheden af centrale påstande i advokaturet for genoprettende ret, og den præsenterer en række grunde til skepsis – særligt med henblik på den kritik der rettes fra advokaturet mod den traditionelle vestlige retsstatsmodel for strafferetfærdighed, og med henblik på påstanden om at genoprettende ret udgør et nyt strafferetligt paradigme Afhandlingens centrale fokus er på genoprettende ret i forbindelse med ”almindelig” forbrydelse i nationalstatslige jurisdiktioner, men begrebet undersøges også i relation til brugen af sandhedskommissioner efter internationale forbrydelser Indeholdt i denne sidste del er også en diskussion af det filosofiske fundament for den Internationale Straffedomstol En PDF-version af denne afhandling kan downloades på: http://retsfilosofi.dk/restorative.pdf 221 English abstract1 The subject of the present PhD thesis is the philosophical foundations of restorative justice Accordingly, restorative justice is understood not as this or that particular criminal justice process but as a comprehensive theory of criminal justice, i.e as a coherent theory providing overall guidelines for the dealing with crime in accordance with one or more overarching goals and/or principles The thesis investigates the character and soundness of the central claims presented in the advocacy for restorative justice, and it presents some reasons for scepticism, notably with regard to the criticism launched in the advocacy against traditional criminal justice as it is conceived in the western rule of law-model, and with regard to the claim that restorative justice presents a whole new criminal justice paradigm The thesis’ main focus is on restorative justice as it is used in the context of “ordinary” crime in domestic jurisdictions but it also considers restorative justice in relation to the use of truth commissions in the context of international crime Included in this latter aspect is also a discussion of the foundations of the International Criminal Court A PDF-version of this thesis is available for download and browsing at: http://retsfilosofi.dk/restorative.pdf 222 ... comprehensive restorative criminal justice system Advocates of restorative justice have generally provided clear images of 17 Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Restorative Justice various... beyond the criminal justice tradition that is my focus Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Restorative Justice These proponents prefer, therefore, to define restorative justice in terms of... nevertheless found it 19 Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Restorative Justice necessary to so for two reasons First, in much of the advocacy for restorative justice these are in fact
