Justiça restaurativa sob a perspectiva da análise do comportamento

Abstract

The proposition of the present theoretical study, with discursive and exploratory character, is to trace the knowledge on Justice processes, until a strand liable of better comprehension, being The Restorative Justice by Howard Zehr, through the Behavioral Analysis of Skinner. The Restorative Justice presents a new strand of comprehension about the concepts of Justice, conflict and penalty, having much to contribute to society in general, mostly because of a less punitive perspective. The behavioral analysis’ perspective, with studies on behavior, interaction, social behavior, amongst others, shows us how this science contributes to support the work of Restorative Justice. Despite being a high relevance topic, it was sought to discourse about it due to the low index of researches found in this area, there being only one work to diffuse and comprehend the analytic-behavioral vision on Restorative Justice. Therefore, it is notable the importance of getting in the Behavioral Analysis and its vision on punitive systems and other social relations, bringing light to new perspectives, awaring the possibility for Restorative Justice to be implemented, aiming to contribute to the practice of such principles, bringing positive results and transforming behaviors and society in general.
