ABSTRACT In economics, race is often used as an explanatory variable. However, context for observed correlations is not often discussed and when it is, the discussion truncates history to the 1960’s and the era of the Civil Rights movement. The latter is consistent with the projection that regulation has limited or eliminated racial disparity and therefore, other factors, cultural and individual, account for observed economic status. However, the evidence to counter this is observable. For example, to the extent that the intergenerational impact of oppression is factored into economic analysis, and qualitative attributes such as anxiety and depression are incorporated into the explanation for the persistence of poverty, social norms rather than race are revealed to be the contributors to present period variations in economic outcomes. Inspired by bell hooks’ Teaching to Transgress we address how the teaching of economics has contributed to the normalization of racialized discrimination. We then address how the economics curriculum can be used as a tool to facilitate racial equity. The discussion adds value to the discourse on race by addressing how the commoditization of teaching has eliminated classroom engagement and critical thinking and concludes with the value of transgression in addressing social justice in economics.

ABSTRACT Restorative justice in the juvenile and criminal justice contexts can produce positive outcomes for victims, offenders, and communities. Research demonstrates that restorative justice can produce negative outcomes for participants under certain circumstances, including poor conference facilitator performance. Facilitator performance is at least partially attributable to their training, but there is scant research on conference facilitator training. This multiple-case study explores the delivery modality, methods of instruction, and training content of 11 trainings delivered over a four-year period. This article concludes with recommendations for training modifications and future research to enhance the positive outcomes of restorative justice for all participants.

ABSTRACT Incarcerated people who study critical theory and emancipatory pedagogy inside prison classrooms can be frustrated by an inability to practice its goals of removing the barriers between faculty and students and creating a more just and democratic society. Inside prison, the theory of emancipatory learning is immensely empowering, but its practice is fraught by the intersecting, oppressive technologies of the prison world. In this article, three incarcerated students and two faculty who teach in prison trace how integrating restorative justice practices bridged emancipatory theory into actual practice. We demonstrate that incarcerated scholars who are equipped with restorative justice training can mitigate prison’s disempowering structures.

ABSTRACT While restorative justice enjoys increasing popularity in a variety of national contexts, it is not yet a structural part of police work. Implementation is often piecemeal, with only a small minority of cases deemed suitable for a restorative approach. This paper draws on literature on the moral dimensions of street-level bureaucrats’ everyday work to analyse how police officers in the Netherlands decide to (not) refer victims and offenders to restorative interventions. In-depth interviews with police officers who are involved in these interventions show that what they present as pragmatic considerations also involve judgments of the deservingness of victims and offenders. Contrary to the literature on ‘ideal’ victims and offenders of restorative justice, police officers in this study are more likely to offer restorative interventions to ‘messy’ victims – who are seen as partly responsible for the crime due to their behaviour and/or relationship to the offender – and to offenders who are considered pitiable or sympathetic. These judgments partly map unto existing cultural norms and biases, and the resulting selective deployment of restorative interventions may therefore conserve and reproduce inequities in the criminal justice system.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the concept of the ‘spaces’ into which restorative services develop. We conceptualise such ‘spaces’ as: social, the people and communities; as political, the will for developments; as physical, the geography and facilities; and as economic, dependent on the resources available. The first case study examines the hub-and-spoke model from Gloucestershire, England, where a top-down approach with buy-in at the statutory level provides ‘space’ for institutional engagement and integration of restorative practice. The second examines community-led restorative services in Belfast, Northern Ireland, originally tackling paramilitary violence they now fill a ‘space’ in local communities caused by a distrust of the state. The final case study is from Kenema City, Sierra Leone, where a post-conflict and post-Ebola ‘space’ is filled by an urban agriculture scheme aiming to divert young people from harmful activity and to reintegrate into society. Across the three cases in this paper, we hope to show that the types of ‘space’ we identify can be an important conceptual tool in helping to understand how and why restorative services develop, the provision they offer, and the capacities they haves to expand.

ABSTRACT The phenomenon of child soldiers in the Arab World could threaten peace and stability in the post-conflict phase. Many of these children committed crimes against their society such that some communities reject them and demand their prosecution, with no real attention from both the political and the academic level, consequently, child soldiers are treated as criminals. This article, based on 16 interviews with academic and legal experts between 2020–2021, aims to analyzes and present how restorative justice can be used as an alternative approach to retributive justice in addressing child soldiers’ criminal responsibility. The findings show that restorative justice can address child soldiers’ responsibility in a way that ensures restore their relationships with their community and reintegrate them without stigmatization.
