在南非各地的乡镇，总部位于开普敦的社区和平计划正在帮助当地社区建立和平委员会。本文认为，通过致力于以共识为基础的修复性方法来处理犯罪，和平委员会反映了恢复性进程和价值观。在其他方面，和平委员会与英国、澳大利亚、新西兰、加拿大和美国的大多数恢复性司法计划截然不同。其中一个区别是它们独立于正式的刑事司法系统，本文将其置于警务和治理日益私有化的背景下。和平委员会的新颖之处还在于它们试图解决犯罪背后的结构性问题、它们试图解决的广泛犯罪以及受害者、犯罪者和社区成员之间会议过程的具体方面。
In townships across South Africa the Community Peace Program, based in Cape Town, is helping local communities establish peace committees. This article argues that through their commitment to a consensus-based, reparative approach to dealing with crime, peace committees reflect restorative processes and values. In other respects, peace committees are quite different to most restorative justice programmes in England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. One such difference is their independence from the formal criminal justice system, which this article places within the context of the increasing privatization of policing and governance more generally. Peace committees are also novel for their attempt to address the structural problems underlying crime, the wide range of crimes they attempt to address, and specific aspects of the process used for meetings between victims, offenders and community members.
