Restorative Justice: Critiques and Evaluation

All social theories and policies are subject to criticism,
improvement, and change. In at least three scientific evaluation studies
published in peer-reviewed journals or by government agencies (which
must include methodology and references), find alternative points of
view concerning the effectiveness of restorative justice and/or some of
the critical issues facing the further development of restorative
practices. In a well-written paper, discuss and evaluate two or three
critiques of restorative justice. Also, predict future trends in
restorative justice. In your discussion, consider the methods that
researchers use to evaluate restorative justice programs, and include
your critique of and suggestions regarding the methods used in these
studies.

Your 2- to 3-page paper should be formatted according to APA

Cite at least three credible, outside sources in addition to the
required readings. Peer-reviewed articles are often considered to be
most credible.
