Beschreibung

Restorative Justice Models explores the shift from retributive to restorative justice, a concept prioritizing rehabilitation, community healing, and offender accountability. This approach seeks to repair harm caused by crime, benefiting victims, offenders, and communities, in contrast to traditional punishment-focused systems. Interestingly, restorative justice traces its roots to indigenous practices and community-based conflict resolution, highlighting its long-standing presence in various cultures. The book argues that restorative justice presents a more effective and ethical framework than traditional punitive measures, offering evidence-based alternatives for safer communities.

The book begins by defining restorative justice's core concepts and contrasting them with traditional criminal justice models. It then examines various restorative justice models, such as victim-offender mediation, conferencing, and circle processes, analyzing their theoretical basis, practical application, and empirical outcomes. These models offer alternatives within criminal justice reform, moving towards offender accountability and rehabilitation.

Real-world examples and case studies illustrate the implementation of these models in diverse settings, including schools, workplaces, and criminal justice systems. Ultimately, the book provides guidance for implementing restorative justice practices, addressing common challenges, and offering strategies for overcoming them. It emphasizes ongoing research and innovation to further refine restorative practices, making it a valuable resource for practitioners, policymakers, and community members interested in creating more just and compassionate communities through restorative justice.

Designing for Democracy - How to...

Jennifer Forestal

How should we "fix" digital technologies to support democracy instead of undermining it? In Designing for Democracy, Jennifer Forestal argues that accurately evaluating the democratic potential of digital spaces means studying how the built environment—a primary component of our "modern public square"—structures our activity, shapes our attitudes, and supports the kinds of relationships and behaviors democracy requires. 
 
 
 
While many scholars and practitioners are attentive to the role of design in shaping behavior, they have yet to fully engage with the question of what structures are required to support democratic communities—and how to build them. Forestal closes this gap by providing a new theory of democratic space. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, she argues that "democratic spaces" must be designed with three environmental characteristics—boundaries, durability, and flexibility—that, taken together, afford users the ability to engage in fundamental civic practices. 
 
 
 
Through extended analyses of Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, Forestal shows precisely how well these digital platforms meet the criteria for democratic spaces, or whether they do so at all. The result is a nuanced analysis of the democratic communities that form—or fail to emerge—in these spaces, as well as more concrete suggestions for how to improve them.

The Theory of the Leisure Class

Thorstein Veblen

"The Theory of the Leisure Class" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist. The book is a seminal work of economic sociology and a critique of the consumption-driven culture of the late 19th century United States. 
Veblen's central thesis is that the upper class, or the "leisure class," engages in conspicuous consumption as a way of displaying their social status and wealth. This behavior, he argues, is not only wasteful and unproductive but also harmful to society as a whole, as it perpetuates a culture of inequality and social stratification. 
Veblen also discusses the role of technology in shaping society, arguing that the development of machines and industrial processes has led to the emergence of a new class of technocrats who control the means of production and wield significant power over the rest of society. 
Overall, "The Theory of the Leisure Class" is a critical examination of the social and economic structures that shape modern society. It remains a landmark work in the field of economic sociology and has had a profound influence on the study of consumption, social stratification, and the role of technology in society
