Is restorative justice possible for perpetrators of rape? This is a little E/N, but I think it's more D&D. I was talking to my current girlfriend about my ex-partner. My ex's brother committed statutory rape in 2008, served a decade, and went through a restorative justice process. My ex accepted her brother back into her life - it tore her family apart for a decade, but they all reconciled after his release. My current GF believes restorative justice is not possible for perpetrators of sexual assault. She wanted me to confront my ex about it, stop talking to her (we have stayed friends), and I felt wrong doing so. I felt it would be cruel and pointless. Both the GF and the ex are victims of sexual assault so I don't think I have a place to either say something to the ex nor tell the GF how to think. In the end, I'm not sure if it's possible or not. I want to believe it is. I have found articles and studies supporting both sides. Is it possible? Is it only possible in a post-carceral state?
