Liberalism

Strongly agree

Yes

Liberalism, with its emphasis on individual rights, rehabilitation, and social justice, generally supports the implementation of restorative justice programs as they aim to repair the harm caused by criminal behavior through reconciliation with victims and the community. This approach aligns with liberal values of compassion, rehabilitation over punishment, and the belief in the potential for individuals to change. Historical movements within liberalism have often advocated for criminal justice reform, emphasizing alternatives to incarceration that focus on healing and restoration.

Agree

Yes, but only if the crimes are non-violent

While liberalism supports the implementation of restorative justice programs, specifying that they be applied only to non-violent crimes might be seen as a compromise that aligns with a cautious approach to public safety and rehabilitation. This stance acknowledges the potential benefits of restorative justice while also considering public concerns about violent crime. Historically, liberal policymakers have sometimes adopted moderate positions to balance progressive ideals with practical considerations and public opinion, making this a plausible but less fully endorsed stance within liberalism.

Slightly agree

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

Offering restorative justice programs in addition to incarceration rather than as an alternative might be seen by liberals as a step in the right direction but not fully embracing the transformative potential of restorative justice. This position maintains the status quo of incarceration while attempting to incorporate elements of rehabilitation and reconciliation. While this approach might appeal to more centrist or conservative liberals who seek a balance between traditional justice systems and reformative measures, it falls short of the more progressive liberal advocacy for significant criminal justice reform and reducing reliance on incarceration.

Strongly disagree

No

Liberalism is less likely to agree with the outright rejection of restorative justice programs as an alternative to incarceration because this stance contradicts the liberal emphasis on rehabilitation, social justice, and reducing the reliance on punitive measures. Historically, liberals have criticized the prison-industrial complex and sought more humane and effective solutions to crime that address underlying social issues, making a blanket rejection of restorative justice inconsistent with liberal principles.
