JUSTITIE RESTAURATIVA. O NOUA PARADIGMA (APRECIATIVA)
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. A NEW (APPRECIATIVE) PARADIGM

Summary/Abstract: Although the convergence between appreciative ideology and the ideologies derived from the need of preserving human dignity it is not complete, these can still be seen in a single paradigm of affirmative actions. Although restorative justice principles are not inspired by appreciative inquiry methodology, these are at least converging; both of them emphasizing the positive potential of human being. Moving the focus from the criminal act and the deserved retribution of this, on the recovery of prior state offence, for both victim and offender, these can be interpreted for the purposes of quitting the paradigm of deficiency, and the integration of positive experiences generated by the mediation of relationship victim – offender, in an appreciative paradigm. Applying appreciative inquiry in restorative justice and in the probation systems is a unique area all over the world, this being realized only as an experiment in some restorative justice programs.
