Canada's criminal justice system (CJS) is plagued with issues from the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples to annual expenditures totalling billions of dollars. To alleviate these problems, there has been a push to reform the CJS to better suit its objective to rehabilitate and reintegrate offenders, such as diversionary courts, increased use of community supervision, and culturally-specific programming. However, reformist movements are not doing enough to push the boundaries of criminal justice reform. Crafting policy solutions, which remain within the scope of the current carceral landscape, stifles all discourse that calls for fundamental change. Incrementally reforming the CJS forces public policy to tweak problematic aspects of the model but does not challenge the overall societal and political purpose of the justice system. Ultimately, the reformist approach to the CJS maintains the status quo, which disproportionally harms Inuit, Métis and First Nations people who have historically been over-represented in the CJS. This is because the CJS is deeply rooted in colonialism and serves as a mechanism for the continued subjugation and oppression of Indigenous peoples. Reforming the justice system to become more culturally competent for Indigenous peoples is merely a façade to prevent questions of state sovereignty, legitimacy, and Canada's colonial origins. True reform calls for the decolonization of the CJS. In this paper, to achieve the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action No. 42 (i.e., the recognition and implementation of Indigenous justice systems), it will require both analysis and discussion of Canada's past, present and future.

This book provides an overview of the restorative justice conferencing programs currently in operation in the United States.

Building a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the limits of transitional justice theory, this innovative book proposes a new concept of the transitional justice citizen. Throughout the book, Briony Jones addresses contemporary criticism of transitional justice theory and practice in order to improve our understanding of the agency of people at times of transition. Drawing on three diverse case studies from across the globe, chapters demonstrate how the transitional justice citizen is defined by transitional justice discourse, policy and practice, and through acts of claiming justice such as protests and political violence. Combining in-depth theorization with empirical insights, this perceptive book positions the concept of citizenship within the context of long-term historical political struggle and the contemporary importance of justice.

Justice is a virtue that speaks to our time and has been sought and celebrated since it was conceptualized in ancient Greece. Foregrounding new and fascinating research in philosophy and psychology, as well as other empirical fields of study, the essays in this volume explore the breadth and significance of current understandings of justice, with an emphasis on justice as a virtue that individuals can cultivate in themselves and others

"Neue Formen der Arbeitsorganisation und eine Deregulierung der Flächentarife haben eine Veränderung der betrieblichen Entlohnungsstrukturen zur Folge. Fragen der Verteilungsgerechtigkeit werden deshalb in dem Maße in Unternehmen an Bedeutung gewinnen, wie diese Veränderungen wirksam werden. Die Organisationsforschung ist auf diese Entwicklung wenig vorbereitet. Denn Gerechtigkeit wurde bislang vorwiegend dem Breich der Moral oder der Politik zugewiesen. Wie in der betrieblichen Praxis ist auch hier Gerechtigkeit in Unternehmen eher Gegenstand philosophischer Betrachtungen als empirischer Untersuchungen. Deutlich wird dies daran, daß die Ergebnisse der neueren Gerechtigkeitsforschung weder bei der wissenschaftlichen Analyse noch bei der praktischen Gestaltung betrieblicher Abläufe große Beachtung finden. Es ist das Ziel dieser Studie dieses Defizit im Verständnis von Gerechtigkeit in Unternehmen auszugleichen. Dazu wird ein Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der philosophischen, soziologischen und psychologischen Gerechtigkeitsforschung gegeben. Ein Hauptaugenmerk gilt den empirischen Einflußfaktoren individueller Gerechtigkeitsurteile und den einstellungs- und verhaltensbezogenen Folgen wahrgenommener (Un-)Gerechtigkeiten. Durch die Verknüpfung organisations- und gerechtigkeitstheoretischer Konzepte wird darüber hinaus eine Klärung des Gegenstandsbereichs einer empirischen Gerechtigkeitsforschung in Unternehmen vorgenommen. Dazu werden die Bedeutungsaspekte 'korporativer' Gerechtigkeit bestimmt und anhand empirischer Untersuchungen der Zusammenhang zwischen betrieblichen Strukturen und den Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen der Beschäftigten aufgezeigt."
