School-based restorative justice has gained national prominence as an effective approach to interrupting the school-to-prison pipeline. Remarkably, despite its simultaneous positive association with academic success, school safety, and school connectedness, most scholars and practitioners do not associate restorative justice with health. Using ecosocial theory, we conceptualize school-based restorative justice as a structural population health intervention. Our findings indicate that students attending schools using restorative justice have lower odds of missing school due to adverse health and better academic outcomes compared to students who do not. Restorative justice shows promise as a structural intervention that can contribute to improving population health.
学校本位 restorative justice 作为一种有效的方法,在中断学校到监狱的管道方面获得了全国性的关注。值得注意的是,尽管它与学术成功、学校安全和学校联系同时具有积极的关联,但大多数学者和实践者并没有将 restorative justice 与健康联系起来。我们利用生态社会理论,将学校本位 restorative justice 概念化为一种结构性的人口健康干预措施。我们的研究结果表明,与没有参加 restorative justice 的学生相比,参加 restorative justice 的学生因健康不良而缺课的可能性较小,学业成绩也更好。Restorative justice 作为一种结构性干预措施具有很大的潜力,可以有助于改善人口健康。
