Short-Term Outcomes in Restorative Justice
Short-Term Outcomes in Restorative Justice
This chapter explores ways to observe and measure ritual outcomes of successful restorative justice conferences. It further explores the concepts of solidarity and other short-term outcomes using data from interviews with facilitators to examine the elements of successful, and unsuccessful, restorative justice rituals. This chapter also uses the key concepts identified in the qualitative research to quantitatively test for the elements of interaction ritual in systematic observations of restorative justice conferences. It presents a statistical model to examine the emotional and ritual structure of restorative justice conferences and develops measures for key interaction ritual variables before presenting an empirical test of interaction ritual theory. The chapter concludes that one can predict short-term success using systematic observations of micro interactions.
Keywords: interaction ritual outcomes, solidarity, emotional energy, symbolic representations, mixed methods
