Reckoning with Harm and Accountability

from The Abolition Conversation

This episode grapples with the thorny questions of how to address harm and ensure accountability in an abolitionist framework. We'll hear from survivors, community organizers, and restorative justice practitioners about the limitations of traditional criminal justice approaches and the alternatives they're building. We'll explore models of transformative justice that prioritize healing, prevention, and collective responsibility over punishment and retribution. And we'll unpack the tensions and tradeoffs involved in moving away from policing and incarceration, considering how to balance the needs of victims, the humanity of those who've caused harm, and the safety of communities.
