"Wasn't that Restorative"? Judicial Concepts in Restorative Justice Court

Restorative Justice is not a new concept in indigenous spaces, but innovative in the traditional, punitive criminal justice system. Through ethnographic investigations and in-depth qualitative interviews, I explore how judicial concepts are curbed and transformed through a relatively novel Restorative Justice court system. Namely, I investigate how elements of procedural justice, therapeutic justice, and compliance performances aid in understanding how justice is constructed in the Restorative Justice court.
