Secondly: The goal of modern justice systems is behavioral *correction* and *rehabilitation*. In contrast, in these contexts, the person labeled as the perpetrator is often simply excluded for an arbitrary period of time — without any attempt to actually address or work through the misconduct. When that time is up, the perpetrator returns and targets others. No wonder those who see themselves as victims don’t feel safe — neither for themselves nor for the community around them. The opportunity to support both parties in learning and growth is completely missed. An atmosphere of fear develops, because any mistake might lead to exile and (semi-)public shaming.
This contributes to a dynamic where victims leave the community, while perpetrators thrive.
