Description
Summary:With this qualitative research we aimed to analyze reverberations of restorative justice practices in Brazilian basic education schools. We discuss retributive and restorative justice concepts through a case study carried out in a school in Olinda, a Brazilian northeast municipality. We present data on the restorative practices project implementation in the school. It appears that episodes of conflict and violence prevailed among girls. As a result of the Project implementation, it appears that there is resistance from teachers and part of the students, but a new culture of peace also emerges through affirmative and preventive actions against violence, with emphasis on “female empowerment”. We conclude that such practices are contextualized in particular schools, under democratic leadership, such as the Brazilian case studied.
