Abstract

In recent years, restorative justice has surfaced as a new criminal justice practice in diverse parts of the world. Often, it appears that these practices have emerged in complete isolation from one another. This prompts us to question what it is that has allowed restorative justice to become an acceptable way of dealing with criminal justice issues, or in FoucaultÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s terms, the ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“conditions of emergenceÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ of restorative justice. This article explores one of numerous potential ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“conditions of emergenceÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ of restorative justice - the discourses of the ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“therapeuticÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢, ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“recoveryÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢, ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“selfhelpÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ and ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“New AgeÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ movements. It aims to investigate the ways in which the taken-for-granted nature of these discourses have, in part, permitted restorative practices to become an approved way of ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“doing justiceÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢.
