What is Transformative Justice?

 

The Peer2Peer Exchange supports non-punitive justice paradigms erected to either address harms, needs and obligations after a specific violent offense (i.e. community conferencing circles , victim-offender dialogues etc) OR to address systemic harms, individual/societal needs and obligations after a broader structural injustice (i.e. Greensboro Truth & Reconciliation, Burge Torture Reparations Ordinance).

THE GOALS OF TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE ARE:

  • Safety, healing, and agency for survivors

  • Accountability and transformation for people who harm

  • Community action, healing, and accountability

  • Transformation of the social conditions that perpetuate violence – systems of oppression and exploitation, domination, and state violence.
