Community Justice – Reconstruction of Assumptions and Critique of a Criminal Policy Model
Journal Title: Białostockie Studia Prawnicze - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 21
Abstract
Th e article attempts to reconstruct basic assumptions of community justice – an emerging paradigm of penal policy, which gains popularity in Western Europe and the USA. Th e model assumes the empowerment of citizens in matters related to criminal justice, including various forms of public participation, aimed at reclaiming confl icts thus far appropriated by professionals and institutions. Th e article discusses both advantages and disadvantages of this “democratization” of penal policy.
