Abstract

The aim of this work is to present the main lines of the project Explorations and Proposals on Restorative Justice: An Encounter between Law, Psychology and Linguistics. The project arises in a context where, faced with a predominantly punitive legal system, the paradigm of restorative justice is gaining increasing traction. This movement entails scientific challenges to be considered within a framework of interdisciplinary and intersectoral research. The research paradigm is interpretivist, the theoretical approach is interdisciplinary, and the methodology is predominantly inductive and qualitative.

The specific analysis of the project focuses on sociodiscursive representations of justice and responsibility in: 1) Facebook comments generated from posts related to criminal court cases, and 2) responses from participants in a restorative justice program (within the criminal justice system) to an open, anonymous questionnaire administered prior to their interaction with facilitators.

Building upon (1) and (2), the project seeks to generate theoretical and practical proposals to: a) enhance the effectiveness of restorative justice programs, and b) raise awareness about the benefits of restorative justice, as it involves a different approach to addressing conflict and crime, as well as prevention methods aimed at social peace.
