Restorative justice as an idea is actually something that existed in ancient cultures, in non western cultures, it certainly existed in Native American cultures, as we were just talking about existed even in ancient Jewish culture, though our criminal justice system is based on the British system of courts and lawyers and sort of an adversarial model in America, moving things to like, you're innocent until proven guilty, versus you're guilty until proven innocent, which was sort of a more European model. There are aspects of the American justice system, which are innovations, but that idea of being defendant focused, that idea about proof and about punishment, those principles were carried over from that European heritage. But restorative practices are becoming more common in a lot of communities. They're certainly more common in schools now, where you have students fighting, or you have graffiti or something like that, the harm is to the community. And repairing that harm as a community is so much more powerful and meaningful than Oh, well, we're gonna suspend you. You know, it requires a shift in mindset to come over to the restorative justice place. And it was definitely part of my research process, since I'm an attorney, and I work in the criminal courts actually here in Vermont and the family courts. Possibly that's why you don't see it more widespread is that you need to have a community and a sense of community to have this kind of restorative justice be meaningful. Yeah, I remember when I was in college, there was that really famous book Bowling Alone, right, talking about that breakdown of that feeling in communities. You can sense it in recent years, like the fracturing of the polity, that moving in this restorative justice direction could be one of those ways that we as individual communities, as as a nation could try rethinking our relationship to one another. That kind of vulnerability does require some level of trust. And so I feel like restorative justice is is a way to get there. But it also requires some work to get even to that place.
