Mr. Dunbaugh disputes the contention that penal abolitionists should reject restorative justice and seek instead transformative justice. He urges that abolitionists must continue to pursue their primary goal - penal abolition - and that restorative justice is a proper vehicle to achieve that goal. He contends that transformative justice analyses lack: (1) a clear commitment to abolishing the penal laws, (2) a clear vision of what new goals are sought, and (3) a clear strategy for bringing about the desired transformation. He then attempts to suggest a direction for this transformation process.
