Can anyone even tell me what restorative justice means?

It offers an alternative to punitive punishment for crimes by seeking to address harm done via direct engagment with the parties harmed. Some toss out the idea as impractical, although arguments have been made that if implemented properly it would taxpayers save money.

I think the conceptual shift that scares some people is it complicates the government's idea of criminality, which is supposedly objective, but is in reality deeply racist, by embracing the idea that harm is complex and reparations is by necessity not a fixed proposition.

Then what’s to stop repeat offenders? Crime(violent and theft) is skyrocketing in SF because of this policy. It’s insane, and it needs to go, and so does

Let's get straight about something. It is not actually Boudin's job to prevent crime. It's his job to prosecute them once they occur. If you want crime prevention, then go to your policy makers. Being tough on crime does not stop repeat violent offenders.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-prisons-make-us-safer/ …

Then what is the alternative? Simply forgiving crime is not the answer. Failure to prosecute allows criminals to continue to roam the streets. Prop 47 has directly led to more theft and car break ins, because there is no penalty for those crimes in CA.

There are a variety of restitutions many of them more effective and less societally costly than mass incarceration. I think financial crimes deserve financial consequences, incarceration being to high a societal burden and too destructive in these instances.

I think the problem here is that the criminal has no incentive to change their behavior. We can all agree that said change is desirable, right?

It's the state's job to give them an incentive. If partnerships are made with Calworks or non profits and resorces are spent assigning case workers to assist people in making beter choices / make headway into employment, that would be a huge incentive

In some cases yes. Addiction is a little different unfortunately. But I do want to see more non-police solutions. They just can’t be the only ones.
