Per un nuovo habitus: contesti culturali e itinerari operativi della Restorative Justice nel tempo delle giustizie

The characters of the experiences of Restorative Justice in criminal matters and the exploration of the vital paths of development that show their dialogical fields are placed in a broader focus on the practice of justice in the dynamics of the state-community: enhancing the keys of complexity theories, the essay explores the plural dynamics of the «time of justices» and inscribes in this context the analysis of Italian experiences of Restorative Justice in criminal matters. The 2022 reform, which structured a statutory discipline of Restorative Justice for the first time in Italy, has opened a complex phase of scientific and institutional debate, in which there have been significantly critical voices with regard to doubts of compatibility with the system of constitutional guarantees of context: there is, however, a need to ensure that the debate is permeated by the election of broader horizons of meaning, by creating the conditions so that, in keeping with the ontological features of Restorative Justice, the promotion of a new mental habitus of institutional actors and cultural contexts is a priority.
