Talk:Transformative justice

message: Re edits made by @Rosesav, important notes on the history and ideas of restorative justice were made. Unfortunately, they seem to have since been erased. The current article lacks footnotes in key places, making general factual statements without any clear souce: such as the statement, "The lineage of contemporary strands of transformative justice practices remains rooted in other anti-carceral and abolitionist social movements that emanate from Black, Indigenous and other racialized communities." 
Both versions of the article would be strengthened with a more succint delivery of the philosophy of transformative justice, as well as a clearer historical narrative based on actually existing practices, movements that have advocated transformative justice and influenced its upsurge, and historical successes. For instance, it would be important to describe exactly what transformative justice practices have existed within indigenous and black societies. Such examples should be readily available. This would be both instructive and provide a more engaging narrative. 
If possible, a narrative about the relationship between transformative justice and penal justice, particularly in the early colonial period could also be interesting, so as to illustrate the frictions between these justice systems.   JustinJacksonGeorge (talk) 18:17, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree that it would be helpful to have more footnotes in various key places / where certain statements have been made without clear sources. I also think it would be interesting to describe the history of the movement and key events as well as key thinkers.  Amnesiamachine (talk) 01:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:   Edits to History and Context: Add Some Narrative and Examples to the History?  

message: As suggested by @Hosanna.galea, I think that it would be very helpful to contextualize the information on the page by adding a brief paragraph to the introduction. To their proposed text, however, I would a slight specification to avoid misinterpretation and quick rephrasing to help tie the paragraph together.
As @Hosanna.galea wrote: "At its core, transformative justice is based on the belief that violence and harm are not inevitable, and that we can create a world in which harm is less likely to occur. 
As opposed to stating that a core belief is that "we can create a world in which harm is less likely to occur," I would remove this and add a new sentence, stating: "Fundamentally, transformative justice seeks to respond to violence and harm without creating more violence and harm, or, at the least, attempting to lessen this by practicing harm reduction." https://transformharm.org/tj_resource/transformative-justice-a-brief-description/  
In addition, I would add a sentence at the end of @Hosanna.galea's paragraph, stating that transformative justice (although I wrote restorative by mistake and cannot seem to access this page anymore) can, therefore, be seen as a way of "making things right, or creating "justice." https://transformharm.org/tj_resource/transformative-justice-a-brief-description/ Britneys1 (talk) 03:52, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
