Transformative Justice
APA4167.01
Course Description
Summary
What is the difference between restorative and transformative justice? How can the concepts of transformative justice be used in campaigns for social justice? Can transformative justice be used to replace or supplement the criminal legal system in the United States? These are all questions we will explore in this 4000 level course. We will explore the reasons why the transformative justice movement has evolved from restorative justice, the values and practices at the foundation of transformative justice and how these principals offer an antidote to the current way we use the police and prisons in America. Students will do deep reading and reflection as well as develop a transformative justice project.Prerequisites
