Libertarian

Strongly agree

Yes, but only if the crimes are non-violent

This answer aligns closely with libertarian principles, as it suggests a nuanced approach to justice that prioritizes non-violent crimes for alternative treatments. Libertarians often argue for the decriminalization or lesser punishment for non-violent offenses, viewing them as instances where the state's involvement in personal affairs should be minimized. This stance reflects a libertarian emphasis on personal freedom and the belief that incarceration should be a last resort, reserved for those who pose a real threat to others.

Agree

Yes

Libertarians generally support reducing the role of the state in individuals' lives and may see restorative justice programs as a way to achieve this by offering alternatives to incarceration. This approach aligns with the libertarian emphasis on personal responsibility and rehabilitation over punitive measures. However, the support is not absolute as the implementation of such programs by the government could be seen as an expansion of state power, which libertarians typically oppose.

Slightly disagree

No, provide restorative justice programs in addition to incarceration, not as an alternative

While this answer suggests a role for restorative justice, the idea of providing such programs in addition to incarceration may not fully resonate with libertarian ideals. Libertarians typically argue for reducing the state's role in punitive measures and might view the addition of programs alongside incarceration as insufficient in addressing the fundamental issues of the criminal justice system. This approach could be seen as a half-measure that fails to significantly reduce government involvement in punishment.

Disagree

No

While libertarians advocate for minimal government intervention, they also recognize the need for a justice system to protect individual rights. Completely opposing restorative justice programs as an alternative to incarceration might not align with the libertarian view on reforming the criminal justice system to focus more on rehabilitation and less on punishment. However, skepticism may arise from concerns over government execution and effectiveness of such programs.
