Restorative justice can be defined as a theory related to justice that aims to repair the harm caused or revealed by criminal behavior (Barsh 2005: 359). Over the years, restorative justice has been seen as an effective way to resolve the social and cultural problems of indigenous peoples. For this reason, restorative justice is used in many local communities in an effort to correct criminal behavior. This concept is considered a conceptualization of justice that is in most cases consistent with the cultural and community values ​​of indigenous peoples. There is growing evidence to suggest that there are a number of challenges that increase the effective implementation of restorative justice among Indigenous peoples. Bopp and Bopp (2007: 45) argue that the tendency to use one-size-fits-all restorative justice strategies often overvalues ​​and neglects the heterogeneity of identities and experiences of Indigenous peoples. This means that it is important to recognize the differences between indigenous peoples. It is evident that the use of the retributive justice model has been used in many correctional services in Canada. Despite this, this method has not been effective in reducing crime among natives. Indigenous men and women are over-represented in different levels of secure detention. However, given the enormity of Aboriginal involvement in the Canadian penal system, a number of commissions were created to resolve the dilemma concerning Aboriginal peoples (Crnovich 2005: 8). While the premises of indigenous and contemporary justice-related models have been identified as being silent...... middle of paper ...... integrate their cultural value system. Restorative justice helps Indigenous people by addressing the various social, interpersonal and other challenges that are believed to contribute to criminal behavior. Works Cited Barsh, R. 2005.
