To deal with fears of difference people need to respect the equal worth of all human beings, to engage in rigorous critical thinking and to assume a curious and empathetic imagination. Community can be a communicative activity the purpose of which is to establish connection and to live interdependently. Community is something you do rather than something you passively belong to. Building community requires shifting the conversation from problems, fears and retribution to one of possibility, generosity and restoration. Security is ultimately derived from relationships; people sharing norms and values, looking out for each other’s wellbeing and coming together to address problems and to create new possibilities. This is a dynamic form of security which neither the state nor the market can ever deliver. Restorative processes can create a temporary sense of community that is hospitable to parties in conflict. Such a community requires a host who enables the parties to communicate, understand each other and make agreements across frontiers and across time through telling and listening to each other’s narratives. These processes must be based upon deep respect.

They argue that government is responsible for preserving a just order whereas community is responsible for establishing a just peace. Order can be measured in the achievement of instrumental goals measurable by crime statistics. Peace is less tangible; it is derived from the quality of relationships between people living in community and from how they set about resolving conflicts and breaches of norms. Community restorative justice developed out of the violent conflict in Northern Ireland and aimed to reduce the culture of violence within some Northern Irish communities, to heal relationships and to clarify and reinforce the norms of the community (Xxxxxxxx 2010).

Restorative Justice. Very much a part of our approach to bullying and to discipline in general is the restorative justice model for managing student behavior. Restorative justice is an approach to justice that focuses on the needs of the victims and the offenders, as well as the involved community, instead of satisfying abstract legal principles or punishing the offender. Victims take an active role in the process, while offenders are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions. In addition, it provides help for the offender in order to avoid future offenses. Research shows that restorative justice that fosters dialogue between victim and offender shows the highest rates of victim satisfaction and offender accountability.
