Traditional+Aboriginal+View+of+Justice+and+Law+vs+Traditional+Western+European+View+of+Justice+and+Law


 * Customary Law** is, in basic words common sense. It is law because people has practiced it before and has deemed it to be a law
 * Codified Law** is written down in a context and is placed above everybody. Nobody is above the law

//**Restoritive Justice:**// mainly focuses on healing the victim, The offender wil take responsibility for their actions and attempt to help heal the victim in anyways possible. ex: Community Service //**Retributive Justice:**// Punishment to the offender is the only way to resolve the problem. (In less barbaric words :-P), The offender has done something so great there is no chance for Restoritive justice and must pay for what they did by either serving time or paying money. ex: The offender is sent to Jail or pays a monetary fee

=﻿Aboriginal vs Europian Law=

Restoritive Justice can be benificial towards the offender, the victim and the law system. Restoritive justice is a relationship between the two that avoids punishment and future offences. Sentencing Circles are an example of Restoritive Justice, a person realizes what they did wrong and shares their feelings with the community. Alternative punishments that sentencing circles offer are Rehabilitation, counciling etc.

Christopher Pauchays Case:
Chris was administered to a sentencing circle instead of imprisonment for leaving his two children to freeze in -50 degree weather. It had several disadvantages such as throwing the public into an outrage because of the lack of knowledge of what a sentencing circle was and he lack of report if Chris finished treatment or not.

=4)= a Sam may not understand what the court is doing for him and may disregard any lessons trying to be taught. He is also at the stage of life where he is heavily influenced by others and realize what he did was wrong. If it were not practiced he would go to jail and would be exposed to others where he would be more influenced. He wouldn't learn anything if he were to just to sit in jail.

Sam:
+The court is giving him a second chance to change his ways +The court scares him into stopping this behaviour -He may not stop this behaviour and continue. -Its an easy way out

Mrs McGuire:
+Sam is sorry and he realizes what he did. +Any value lost from Sams BnE will be paid back. -Any feelings of revenge are out the window :P -She lost trust in any young person with her home. She may have to have a higher security in her house eg: Locked doors, barred windows.

Sams Parents
+Your child isn't being sent to jail and rather being taught what he did was wrong +You have a second chance to teach your child to take responsibility for his wrongs and to help prevent future incidents -**They may not care what Sam is doing** if he is out of school during school hours, as this was ongoing. -Knowing you didnt do the best in teaching your child between right and wrong, which is why he is being exposed to the justice system at such a young age.

The School
+A child going to your school is being taught rather than punished by the court system. -**Demonstrates the lack of authorization the school enforces to students** that skip school for months ends.

The Judge
+Could not have used restoritive justice before to enforce a punishment... +**Has to think of setting a standard** for other Judges to use for these type of cases. -Could seem a biased, not using restoritive justice for any other cases but makes an exception to use it in Sams case. EXCELLENT WORK WELL THOUGHT OUT ANSWERS
