"매 처벌이 아닌 관계 회복으로 갈등을 해결". 매 1970s Howard Zehr 의 정립, 매 New Zealand 1989 Family Group Conference 법제화 가 milestone. 매 2026 software/community governance, AI safety incident response 에도 적용.
매 핵심
매 vs Punitive Justice
Punitive: "What law was broken? Who did it? What punishment?"
Restorative: "Who was harmed? What are their needs? Whose obligations are these?"
Procedural: rule-following 강조. RJ 는 outcome (harm repair) 강조.
매 핵심 가치
Accountability: 책임 의 active 인정 — passive 처벌 X.
Healing: victim, offender, community 모두 의 회복.
Voice: stakeholder 모두 의 발언권.
Relationship: 관계 회복 우선.
매 응용
School discipline (US, UK 의 도입).
Criminal justice diversion programs.
Workplace conflict (HR mediation).
Online community moderation (Discord, GitHub).
AI incident response (post-mortem culture).
💻 패턴
Conference structure
1. Pre-conference: 매 stakeholder 와 facilitator 의 prep.
2. Storytelling: 매 each party 의 narrative.
3. Impact: harm 의 articulation.
4. Need identification: what would help?
5. Agreement: concrete actions.
6. Follow-up: accountability check.
Software incident (post-mortem)
# Post-Mortem: Production Outage 2026-05-09
## Who was affected
- 12,000 users (3hr API down)
- On-call engineer (sleep disruption)
- CS team (200 tickets)
## What happened (no blame)
- Deploy at 03:00 UTC introduced N+1 query
- Monitoring alert delayed 15min
## Repair
- [ ] Refund/credit affected users
- [ ] On-call rotation adjustment
- [ ] CS team additional comp
## Prevention (system, not person)
- [ ] Pre-deploy load test gate
- [ ] Alert threshold tightening
Community moderation (RJ flow)
typeIncident={reporter: UserId;accused: UserId;description: string;};asyncfunctionrestorativeFlow(i: Incident){awaitdm(i.reporter,"We hear you. What outcome would help?");constneed=awaitwaitReply(i.reporter);awaitdm(i.accused,`A community member shared they were hurt by [...]. Are you open to a conversation?`);if(awaitconsent(i.accused)){awaitscheduleFacilitatedChat(i.reporter,i.accused,need);}else{awaitescalateToFormal(i);}}
Circle process
- 매 participant 의 talking piece 보유시 발언.
- 매 facilitator 의 question prompt 의 sequence.
- 매 silence OK.
- 매 agreement 의 collective.
Apology framework (Lazare)
1. Acknowledgment: "I did X."
2. Explanation (not excuse): "Because Y."
3. Remorse: "I see harm caused."
4. Repair: "I will Z to make it right."
