Abstract

Feminist engagement with restorative justice (RJ) have tended to neglect the importance of gendered factors relevant to RJ interventions used with women and girls who offend. This article begins to address this gap in knowledge and presents findings from qualitative research with offending girls who participated in a RJ conference, a group whose voices are seldom heard, and RJ practitioners. Focusing on the key themes of shame and stigma, the article critically explores how the macro-social processes underpinning stigmatization and the gendered politics of shame can produce harmful implications for girls participating in RJ conferences within an offender capacity.

摘要

女权主义者对恢复性司法 (RJ) 的参与往往忽视了与 RJ 干预措施相关的性别因素的重要性，这些干预措施用于冒犯妇女和女童。本文开始解决这一知识差距，并介绍了对参加 RJ 会议的冒犯女孩的定性研究结果，这是一个很少听到声音的群体，以及 RJ 从业者。文章着重于羞耻和污名的关键主题，批判性地探讨了支持污名化的宏观社会过程和羞耻的性别政治如何对以罪犯身份参加 RJ 会议的女孩产生有害影响。
