Bending the Arc of Justice Toward Love

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Unitive Justice introduces a revolutionary concept: Justice as Love, or Unitive Justice, a way to achieve justice without inflicting revenge or seeking retribution. Written by an experienced civil trial attorney, Sylvia Clute, Unitive Justice offers a much-needed alternative to the punitive model of justice, which comes with a heavy cost to individuals and communities, by setting out fourteen Arcs from punitive justice to Unitive Justice. What begins to appear is a path from a punitive system to a unitive system. It is urgently important that we transform our understanding of justice if we hope to create peace, save our environment, end systemic racism and other debilitating prejudices, address deep pockets of poverty, and achieve lasting positive change. Of course, Justice system change is no small undertaking. Justice is not limited to the courts-it is all-encompassing and exists to a large extent in our minds. Unitive Justice shows the promise that Justice as Love holds for transforming our justice system and world. It is not a "quick fix" for the brokenness in the world, but it is a start. It may take many lifetimes to transform a world tethered to dualistic thinking, and yet it can be implemented by one person, in one prison pod, in one family, in one relationship, right now. The fact that grave injustices have existed and could happen again is a compelling reason to begin to create small pockets of Unitive Justice wherever we can and to nurture them with all the Love we can muster. Practicing Justice as Love is life-changing, if not life-saving, for many involved. With this book, readers will gain insight into the life-changing concept of Unitive Justice and discover how it can completely transform the way we approach justice. Once you experience Unitive Justice, you can no longer believe that punitive justice is the best we can do.

Autorenporträt

Sylvia Clute brings twenty-eight years as a trial attorney to the undertaking of creating a model of justice with no punitive elements-what she calls Unitive Justice. This epoch in her life began when her spiritual journey and her work in the courtroom collided, but she had important tools in her toolbox for what lay ahead. A law degree from Boston Univ. and graduate degrees in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and Univ. of California/Berkeley bring practical knowledge to her work on cutting-edge policy reform. She learned of diverse approaches to public policy when she studied in Paris, France two decades after WWII and served two years in a remote Nepali village during her Peace Corps service. She now serves as President and Exec. Director of the Alliance of Unitive Justice, a nonprofit that offers training and programs on Unitive Justice theory and practice. (www.a4uj.org) Unitive Justice is applicable in education, corrections, politics and government, spirituality/religion, and leadership-everywhere people come together in community. It is being taught in law schools and grassroots groups are creating new ways of applying Unitive Justice in diverse settings worldwide. Sylvia is the author of Beyond Vengeance, Beyond Duality: A Call for a Compassionate Revolution, and a novel, Destiny Unveiled. This book is her seminal work on Unitive Justice theory and practice, the product of 35 years of research and writing leading to a practical theory of Justice as Love.
