Danielle Arle has prosecuted thousands of crimes over her 27-year career in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From her experience, the 49-year-old said the current method of criminal justice \u2014 to strictly punish offenders \u2014 is flawed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Arle said. \u201cIt just takes people to prison. It doesn\u2019t meet anyone\u2019s needs \u2014 including the victim.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As a result, she said, she\u2019s turning to Eastern Mennonite University\u2019s Summer Peacebuilding Institute<\/a> to learn more about restorative justice.<\/div>\n
\n

Restorative justice is an alternative to the traditional criminal justice system. Instead of strictly looking to punish an offender, the program\u2019s goal is to address needs of victims, offenders and the community at large to resolve a crime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A mediator, offender and victim discuss the effects of the harm done by the crime and create a resolution. Both the victim and offender must agree to participate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Arle is among roughly 50 lawyers and judges in Harrisonburg for two weeks of courses. The group will conclude lessons this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bill Goldberg, the institute\u2019s director, said interest among Brazilians in restorative justice began after retired EMU professor Howard Zehr \u2014 known as the grandfather of restorative justice \u2014 presented several lectures in Brazil over the past few years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A handful visited EMU two years ago and word quickly spread in Brazil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAll of a sudden, they had 50 on a waiting list,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cTheir criminal justice system is looking for change. They\u2019re really pushing restorative justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
Diego Maia, 33, of Sao Paulo, practices constitutional law in Brazil. He said it\u2019s time for Brazil to change how it deals with offenders.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cThe system is so much retributive,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to listen to all the parties\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Arle said many victims prefer restorative justice. \u201cThey want to be heard,\u201d she said. \u201cThey want to have a voice. They need to have a voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
