Title of work-in-progress: ‘Restorative Justice and Intimate Violence: Measuring Just Outcomes’

My work explores the safety and effectiveness of restorative justice in dealing with cases of intimate violence in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal groups. I explore cross-cultural ideas of justice and law; both at the individual and the collective level, and ask if restorative justice provides just outcomes.

In particular my work explores the institutional narratives through which criminal justice systems and various publics are meant to process and understand intimate violence, and just outcomes in these cases. I have conducted empirical interview-based research that I think reveals the disjunctures between the stories or narratives that battered women tell about themselves; and institutional stories or narratives of intimate violence and (restorative) justice.

Of particular relevance here is that part of my work (with fellow Indigenous Peoples and Governance scholars Professor Val Napoleon and Colette Arcand) which explores what potential Aboriginal laws and legal orders may hold for addressing gender-based oppression in Aboriginal groups.
