Which method, Retributive or Restorative Justice, do you prefer? Does it matter what the crime

want to hear your thoughts about these methods of Justice. I will be looking to see that you
understand the difference between the two methods.
2 Easy steps:
1. Define the terms within your discussion (“Because Restorative Justice relies on the
victim involvement, I believe…) DO NOT just write the definition.
2. Use ONE example from any film we screened to support your position.

DIVERSITY- CONFLICT Summary* [*Names here refer to the linked articles below. You will cite
the readings by Author last name, page #.]
This is an example only. This isn’t material covered this semester, it’s just meant to give you an
idea. Do not copy or use this as a template. I expect to read your words, following the
instructions above.
The Bosnian War was fought after the breakup the Yugoslavia. The area of was known as
Bosnia-Herzegovina. The population was 44% Muslim Bosniaks, 32% Orthodox Serbsand 17%
Catholic Croats. (Cummings, 1). The Serbs were the minority but had the advantage that most
of the military was located on land they occupied. Still, the groups tried to hold a referendum to
declare their Independence. But the Serbs boycotted. And lead by Slobodan Milosevic and the
army, the Serbs fought a war to drive the Muslim Bosniaks out. This war featured atrocities on
both sides. But the moment that turned the war was the Srebrenica massacre. Some have
called it a genocide as over “8000 Muslim Bosniaks, mostly men and boys, were murdered and
left in mass graves.” (Wesolowsky, 1)
Majority (I expect a more detailed analysis)
The Muslim Bosniaks were the majority population but controlled less than 30% of the land
(Lampe). This is similar to the majority population of Black South Africans who had only 13% of
the land. (Apartheid handout, 3). Both groups wanted to a government that reflected their
representation in relation to the population. The Muslim Bosniaks were also subjected to
murder, sexual assault, torture, and other inhumane treatment during the Bosnian war. And
similar to the leaders of Nazi Germany, the Serbian leaders would be tried and convicted of
crimes against humanity. (Nuremberg handout, 2).
Minority
The Serbs were the minority……

Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa, I…….
