Justiça restaurativa, comunidade e universidade: um estudo do Caso Fênix

Abstract

It highlights the role of the community in the restorative process developed in the Fênix case at the Universidade Federal do Sul e Sudeste do Pará, in the municipality of Marabá, in 2018. The case refers to the reception of the Fênix student who was in a situation of vulnerability for having suffered domestic violence and having lived in an abusive relationship, which led to the rupture of their relationship with the academic community, since Fênix was about to drop out of the course. The case took place within the scope of the action research project “Restorative Justice at UNIFESSPA a new look at the conflict” and was analyzed under the lens of Restorative Justice and focusing on the role of the community in the restorative process. The case was developed through the Peacebuilding Circles model, which, when carried out, aimed to mitigate the damage suffered by Fênix. The research was carried out inductively and was carried out from the qualitative analytical study of the case and analysis of documentary and bibliographic references, these on the themes Restorative Justice, Community and Southern Restorative Justice. The analysis of the case presented as a result that the academic community had a fundamental role in the empowerment of Fênix, in the reestablishment of its relations with the community and, consequently, its permanence in the course. The results obtained from the case study demonstrate that community participation in restorative processes can be a differentiator in achieving the desired results with the practice, from the assumption of responsibilities
