Mechanisms

• Proportional Remedy Menu
  • This is the restorative stance — repair, restitution, and reintegration rather than punishment — which fits harms where making-whole matters more than deterrence.

    This sourceFrames restorative justice around repairing harm, restitution, accountability, and reintegration rather than punishment alone.

• Restorative Dialogue
  • It is the right instrument when what is broken is between people, not just a rule on a page.

    This sourceFrames restorative justice around harm to people and relationships, rather than treating crime only as a violation of law.

• Trust-Breach Triage, Containment, and Repair Protocol
  • … it hard-codes the priority most institutions get backwards under pressure — people before reputation — and it keeps repair optional and staged rather than automatic, drawing on restorative justice, which centers remediation of harm and the affected party's agency over mere punishment or forced reconciliation

    This sourceCenters restorative justice on repairing harm, empowering affected people, and making participation or encounter responsive to their needs rather than merely punitive.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
