Abstract

“Restorative Justice,” firstly a research concept and later a criminal justice practice, was introduced into Taiwan at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This paper reviews how RJ grounded in the Taiwanese district prosecutors’ offices and gradually grows into a grassroots social movement. We propose that the RJ advancement benefits from open-minded policymakers, dedicated academics, and innovative facilitators. The facilitators trained from 2011 to 2012 became key players to spread the RJ practices to other criminal justice sectors and beyond. In addition, the third wave of judicial reform further enabled the embedding of the RJ procedure in the Juvenile Justice Act, the Code of Criminal Justice Procedure, the Prison Act, and the Detention Act. We compare the discourse of RJ advocacy in the east and the west and address the importance of cultural sensitivity, terminology translation, and the meaning of localized practice. In conclusion, we reflect on the existing evaluation reports of the Taiwanese RJ model and provide recommendations for future development.

台湾的恢复性司法:传统实践与现代发展

摘要“恢复性司法”最初是一种研究概念，后来成为刑事司法实践，于21世纪初传入台湾。本文回顾了RJ如何立足于台湾地方检察院，并逐渐成长为一场草根社会运动。我们认为，RJ的进步得益于开放的政策制定者、敬业的学者和创新的促进者。2011年至2012年培训的协调员成为将RJ做法推广到其他刑事司法部门和其他部门的关键角色。此外，第三波司法改革进一步将RJ程序纳入《少年司法法》、《刑事司法程序法典》、《监狱法》和《拘留法》。我们比较了东西方关于RJ倡导的论述，并讨论了文化敏感性、术语翻译和本地化实践的重要性。最后，我们对现有台湾RJ模式的评估报告进行反思，并对未来的发展提出建议。
