# Transformative Approaches to Conflict Resolution ![image of a flower growing out of a concrete block and destroying the concrete to free it's root, from: https://ncph.org/history-at-work/how-should-we-respond/](https://i.imgur.com/CR2gZxK.png) ## Contents: - Key Concepts - Additional Resource Lists - Tools - Books - Podcasts & Videos - News Clippings - Research - Organisiations & Services - Newly-added Resources *Note: Many of the listed resources link to content that includes discussions of violence and abusive behaviours which may have intense connotations or bring up difficult feelings and memories. Please consider ensuring that you are in a safe location and have options for support if needed.* ## Key Concepts ### Community Accountability > Community [accountability](https://youtu.be/HyOYWjmyO-c) is a strategy for creating environments where it is possible to be accountable to address violence within our communities (rather than relying on the police/prison-based punitive system). > Image from [transformativejustice.eu](https://www.transformativejustice.eu/en/what-are-ca-and-tj/) >![Image source: https://www.transformativejustice.eu/en/what-are-ca-and-tj/](https://i.imgur.com/FjL2yEV.png) ### Transformative Justice Transformative justice describes a systems approach to identifying root causes of conflict and responding to these as a community - including developing various harm-reduction processes to interpersonal violence within communities at the grassroots level rather than relying on punishment, incarceration, or policing. See: [*What is Transformative Justice?*](https://youtu.be/U-_BOFz5TXo) - A video by Barnard Center for Research on Women, featuring adrienne maree brown, Mia Mingus, Stas Schmiedt, Ann Russo, Esteban Kelly, Martina Kartman, Priya Rai, and Shira Hassa (2020) > Transformative justice describes a systems approach to identifying root causes of conflict and responding to these as a community - including developing various harm-reduction processes to interpersonal violence within communities at the grassroots level rather than relying on punishment, incarceration, or policing. See, [*Beyond Survival*, edited by Ejeris Dixon and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (2020)](https://brownstargirl.org/beyond-survival/) ### Restorative Justice Restorative justice practices develop processes "whereby parties with a stake in a **specific offence** collectively resolve how to deal with the aftermath of the offence and its implications for the future" [ALRC](https://www.alrc.gov.au/publication/family-violence-improving-legal-frameworks-alrc-cps-1/11-alternative-processes/restorative-justice/). While these approaches can contribute to transformative justice, sometimes they function as an adjunct to punitive systems of justice (e.g., see the [ADRC History of Restorative Justice in Australia](https://www.adrac.org.au/restorative-justice) and, for a critique, the [Undercurrent Podcast on Principles and Frameworks for Accountability](https://archive.org/details/Undercurrent.Panel.Accountability/Undercurrent.Part1.mp3)) > "Transformative justice is a decolonizing and anti-oppression approach [that] addresses oppression by systems of domination, such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, elitism, classism, and ableism within all domestic, interpersonal, global, and community conflicts. In short, **transformative justice is restorative justice plus social justice**. Transformative justice expands the social justice model, which challenges and identifies injustices, in order to create organized processes of addressing and ending those injustices."
