The Third Panel of the Public Security and Human Rights course: A Restorative Look approached topics related to the quality of the service, the performance of the security forces and the implementation of Restorative Justice as a public policy. The debates of the third virtual meeting were mediated by the Judge Odete Batista Dias Almeida, who thanked the presence of the speakers and gave continuity to the dialogues of the day.
In the first lecture, the judge of the Court of Justice of Bahia (TJBA), Joanice Maria Guimarães de Jesus, spoke about Restorative Justice as a new Public Policy. "A great opportunity to be in this course discussing these new public policies and among them Restorative Justice. So we always have an idea that justice is a Justice sitting in a chair holding a sword and scales. Restorative Justice paints this Justice in a different way, it looks like a New Look, with that justice that comes to help people, and not simply to judge. We have a welcoming Justice, which deals with the citizen", reminded
The second speaker, master professor Lucas Pinto Carapiá Rios, from the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), spoke about Planning Routines for Quality Restorative Care. "It is possible to build a restorative program little by little, it is possible to start with restorative approaches, even therapeutic ones. However, Restorative Justice is not therapy. It is possible, from projects and/or actions with restorative approaches, to walk towards an effectively restorative program, in which the needs of the victim, the offender, the community and others involved in the conflict are observed", he said.
In the last speech of the day, Armando Konzen, retired justice attorney from Rio Grande do Sul and professor at the Foundation School of the State Prosecution of Rio Grande do Sul (FMP), spoke about Modern Criminal Rationality - Police and Restorative Justice. In his speech, the professor recalled that the preservation of Human Rights happens as dialogues turn into actions. "Therefore, a task beyond the maintenance of order, whose task matters to all of us, if we want a society with a human and ecologically sustainable future, is only possible with investment in peace building," he said.
The programming of the course Public Security and Human Rights: A Restorative Look continues next Tuesday (13th), with the fourth virtual panel. Composed of eight panels, the course takes place through Esmat's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), with activities that promote interactivity among students, through chat and access to lectures and other tools that will help in the teaching-learning process.
