Restorative justice is used around the world to address a variety of crimes. Domestic violence is a global phenomenon negatively affecting individuals, families and communities. Circles of Peace, a restorative justice approach to domestic violence, brings together perpetrators, victims (when the victim chooses to participate), extended family members, close friends, and trained community members with a “Circle Keeper” facilitator. These Circles carefully monitor safety, encourage dialogue, explore gender dynamics, uncover the history of violence and attempt to create meaningful change. The model is flexible, culturally sensitive, and works with the criminal justice system to bring about healing and transformation, and has been implemented and studied in Nogales, Arizona and Salt Lake City, Utah. Rigorous research supported by the National Science Foundation, as well as years of anecdotal evidence, suggests that Circles of Peace have concrete benefits for families and communities. This webinar will focus on the Circles of Peace model and related research.
Learning Goals
Participants will examine the causes of domestic violence and the criminal justice system’s response to it.
Participants will gain a better understanding of the restorative justice model as an alternative to the standard treatment and its potential to help those impacted by domestic violence – both victim and offender.
Participants will identify strategies for implementing randomized controlled trials in real-world settings including university, criminal justice, and community-based agency partnerships.
