| Sumario: | Canada has a rich and diverse criminal justice system. Before its colonization by mostly Europeans, Canada’s Aboriginal peoples had their unique model of justice. As has been well documented, the Aboriginal people practiced what is now commonly referred to in the criminological and criminal justice literature as ‘restorative justice.’ However, because of what has been more recently acknowledged as cultural genocide, little attention was given to how Aboriginal people maintained ‘law and order’ before the arrival of foreign settlers. It was not until the early 1970s that the colonizing nations began introducing restorative justice elements into the conventional Western European model of criminal justice. However, such features were implemented and operationalized differently from the various traditional practices of the Aboriginal peoples. Canada has had two different restorative justice models that have not always been complimentary in their implementation or operationalization. This chapter will compare the evolution of both models of restorative justice in Can and assess how history has reshaped the meaning and practice of restorative justice for more comprehensive learning by the international community. |
