This article suggests a culturally competent restorative justice practice framework for Asian Americans. In developing the
framework, the historical development and contemporary issues of restorative justice in the West are explored, and the
salient cultural traits and core elements of cultural competence with Asians and Asian Americans are examined. Tentative
principles are advanced and recommendations are made for developing a culturally competent restorative justice practice
framework for this cultural group, who now constitute 4.4% of the American populace, and for whom harmony in interpersonal
relationships and the power of shaming are key considerations.
