Restorative Justice
be, restorative justice's only choice now is to rely on qualified training, harmonized
practices which are ethically and deontologically impeccable, scientifically evaluated,
and especially, delivered to the general public with the greatest transparency (see
justicerestaurative.org). Finally, we need to remember that restorative justice is being
institutionalized in many countries. Whether this trend is criticized or praised, we
should not forget that the problematic issue is not so much the institutionalization
of restorative justice, but rather the challenge to remain independent from judicial
systems. Its real integration into practices also remains a delicate operation, since
ideological resistance, which does not always act in good faith, remains strong.
