This course focuses on the various contemporary theories, concepts, and practices of restorative and rehabilitative justice. Community restoration, victim reparation, offender reconciliation, and the concept of therapeutic jurisprudence that has fueled the designer court surge (e.g., drug court, mental health court, and veteran’s court) are all treated in the course delivery to offer the various options available for alternative resolution strategies to the issue of crime commission and sanction.
