Abstract
Restorative Justice (RJ) has been used in many parts of the world as one of the ways to offer alternative form of justice to both the offender and the victim. RJ puts a focus on those who are affected by an unjust act, and how this harm could be repaired by the person who has committed the acts. This is proved to be an effective way to support the offending party, especially young persons, to reintegrate into the community. RJ has also been supported by research studies as one of the effective approaches to juvenile criminal behaviour. With the recent resurge on youth crime rate in Hong Kong, the notion of RJ should be re-visited since resorting to penal justice is not an option to restore the harm done to the community. The introduction of RJ through the public semester, best joined by those who are currently involved in resolving cases relevant to youngsters in Hong Kong, will effectively attract the public. The theory and practice of RJ involved dimensions of studies in a multi-disciplinary way, including law, psychology and neuroscience. One major RJ theory is on “Reintegrative Shaming”, which encompasses aspects on emotional changes and cognition that are studied in psychology and neuroscience. It is the aim of this project to arouse social awareness of the use of RJ as a powerful tool in the criminal justice process, embedded with multi-disciplinary knowledge transfer in law, psychology and neuroscience.
