SULEAR A TROCA DE LENTES:

O LADO OCULTO DO MODELO RETRIBUTIVO

Abstract

Restorative justice occupies a relevant space in Brazil in the legal-institutional and academic debate about the future of the penal system and alternatives to prison. However, this development occurred without recognizing the role that race plays in the organization of the very structures that restorative justice, from an emancipatory perspective, seeks to oppose. This is a theoretical discussion to be developed through predominantly bibliographic research, of a qualitative nature, whose objective is to return to the traditional dichotomy proposed by Howard Zehr between retributive justice and restorative justice, to argue that the author narrates the emergence of the model retributive from a Eurocentric perspective. This perspective consequently interferes with the way we think about restorative justice based on our reality. Thus, another transformative perspective is reflected in the need to think about the repercussions that the structuring frameworks of our domination would have on the construction of an emancipatory restorative paradigm.
