How restorative justice could end mass incarceration | Shannon Sliva | TEDxMileHigh

Amazing talk!!

I work in the education system and I definitely see how this could apply to our approach with students. Great talk!

Yes change is needed. This is not it.

great English, thank you))

I hope to see this transform our world! Prisons are the worst things that exist in America. Then, ex offenders are punished forever once they get out and cannot get housing, jobs, education, etc. Let's work together for a new future for everyone. Can't wait. ❣️❣️❣️

In order to believe this RIDICULOUS approach will work en masse, one must believe there are no people that have ever appeared on Springer or Maury Povitch. You must believe that there are no people that have a failure streak, violent tendencies, or are almost predestined for jail. No abuse victims that actually can't recover from talking things out. As a teacher in a failing urban district, the MASSIVE resources that actually must be allocated to this farcical unicorn rainbow approach simply ignores a significant portion of human nature- significant because they are the ones that act out. To modern education, the CONCEPT of discipline and self-restraint is useless...although it worked for all of civilization up to now...

This is just beautiful....

How are we changing the "poor people of color with the most mental illness and traumas" narrative so that they wont be jailed for petty crimes again? Restorative Justice does not address structural change that is actually needed in every community to actually keep people out of prisons. This is fancy video is just saying that you can now talk to the offender before your sentenced to the same prison sentence. This system only reforms not revolutionizes which is what we really need.

Victims are NOT satisfied in Colorado. They are told it is this or nothing. Shame on you for lying. You lost credibility.

How not comitting crime will keep you out of jail. ...... 🤦‍♂️

I have been attacked, beaten up and nearly blinded in one eye, I still have the scars. I suffered mental scaring that I lived with for years. You think I would want to have a face to face with the perpetuators, if they had been caught? I can, even though it was years ago, still hear their laughter as they ran off. Never forgiven, never forgotten. If they had been caught, I would let them rot in prison.
Ask the victims of crimes if restorative justice is what they want. I don't think you would be happy with the answer.

This concept sounds like it was created by a child diagnosed with Lvl 4 autism...

Republicans be like "I want to punish them for something I really don't like even thought that increases their chance of doing something I don't like again when they get out!"

there’s a lot of psychology in this. i love it.

The problem is when prosecutors give victims two options. Suspects walk or restorative justice. In blue states that is your " justice ". And people are shocked at rise in violence, why go to courts and your basically given a elementary school apology or you and your crew ride up on the people that wronged you and you take eye for and eye

If their actions can be at least partially explained by their mental health, socioeconomic standing, or another similiar problem that can be fixed, help them. If they are in a position of power and abuse it and/or commit a serious crime that is clearly premeditated or done long term or repeatedly, rehabilitation doesn't necessarily have to be an option. People are not inherently bad, but bad people exist,but not all people who do bad things are bad.

Now imagine her and Brene brown having a talk. Wow. That would be awesome

She said might. Or might not?

Hippie flower child idealism

How about building a stable base first? Education, health care, social services, equal opportunities.

I would definitely want them to hear how their actions affected me, but I would also want them to go to prison for their action.

I like this title better: "How criminal justice could help end mass crime."
Stop refusing to prosecute people who commit crimes.

Restorative justice is powerful. I confronted 1 of my victims face to face and listened to her story long ago. She talked about how deeply I affected her, how alone she felt, how she suffered from the bad things people did to her, from people blaming her for being a victim, and treating her like an outcast. She basically said "I needed you.. you were my role model but you hurt me.." we were crying like babies. I felt so guilty over what I did that I asked her for forgiveness.

Abolishing restorative justice!

Victims have a right to offer witness impact statements at sentencing. Educations what you need.

Unbelievable !

Lol... this has been working great in Chicago! Restorative justice is responsible for light sentences for serious criminals. A murder was let out after killing two people because of this program, 6 months later he killed his girlfriend. Restorative justice is DANGEROUS, it is responsible for creating more victims! Career criminals enroll in a Restorative justice program and get out of jail after very short periods of time and they continue their life of crime.. this program is destroying minority communities.

to the people saying restorative justice doesn't work, I'd really like how our current american system of justice is doing any better.

It depends on the crime , are we talking about someone who stole someone's car or robbed a liquor store and the clerk got shot when they reached for a gun ? If it's the later that person needs to do hard time.

How exactly does this reform criminals? Criminals will likely say what you want to hear to reduce their punishment and go on to commit crime again.

This nonsense has been a BIG FAILURE so far.

A guy and his whole family broke our windows, beat my mom and spoke mean and unreal things against us yet got the audacity to rush filing charges against us that led to my old mother's arrest. They're so in denial of facing their offense against us. They're just outside our home laughing at us till now, I doubt if restorative justice will ever work on him. Rats are already entering our house through the broken windows of our house and we do not even have finances for having the windows repaired.

death to all crime offenders no matter the crime if they can't be trusted to follow simple rules why should they be given a second chance.

Secret society wants the downfall ( sending to prison ) of non members by crooked means.

95% is such a lie. So is the recidivism rate. Complete lie. People should Google actual studies instead of listening to liberal “saviors” given TED talks.

Leftist Lunacy.

Good idea for many misdemeanors. Violent felonies...no way!

Might as well just make a new law saying if you’re not a white straight male , you can’t be locked up for any crime . That’ll be the democrat policy in 2040 😂

Hahaha, this video has not aged well.

You better believe that perps will quickly discover what "works" to get them out of prison.

As much as I deeply appreciate and agree with this presentation, I also think we need to recognise that so much crime is committed because of mass inequality and the degradations of poverty. We can make sure everyone in our society gets what they need or we can continue to punish people for seeking the resources they need to exist. I just don’t see how we can transform our justice system without transforming our economic system to have an actual social safety net.

We could end deadly poverty in this country if we wanted to. Poverty is a policy choice.

Hi Crim 110!!!!

My son 20yo was hit by someone on two different controlled substances that are contraindicated for being prescribed together or for driving while on them, the driver was on the phone and drove into the oncoming lane and hit my son an army reservist on his way home from work on his motorcycle. She, the white driver ,who grew up in the area was not charged with a felony or DUI despite the toxicology showing both drugs present in the system. The officer told me "Your son is no angle I could hear him speeding from the barracks" sight unseen and knowing nothing of motorcycles and muffler systems and stating how he hates motorcycles. According to PA state law, this should have been an automatic felony when you cause serious injury. My son was life-flighted to a trauma hospital and had 14 surgeries to save his life and his leg and has permanent disfigurement, infection and injury. Wayne County Pa did not give access to victim assistance as the person quit and the DA never charged the driver or spoke to my son about his account and nor did the State police. Have my son's rights been violated? and certainly, the police officer and DA have extremely unprofessional conduct in both the law and enforcement as well with possible discrimination and clear bias. Who do I contact?

If you want to know how bad an idea restorative justice is... just ask Pava LaPere (another naive AF TED talker). Restorative justice is just shorthand for meaning the victim will be wronged twice; first by the original crime and secondly by the lack of justice they receive. This is on top of the bonus feature of restorative justice where the perp is now free to find fresh victims

So...the victim is obligated to do work for the sake of the perpetrator? I don't think so..lol

So many victims just want acknowledgment and apologies.
Many don't want the courts or jail or the public shame and scrutiny.
It's individual, but that option should be available to those who want it.

And skyrocket violent crime rates

She is using the word offender?

It's a failed woke experiment that does a lot more harm than good.
