The exploration of restorative justice as a constructive alternative to retributive or punitive justice is an attractive and worthwhile project. Restorative justice aims to restore social harmony, make amends to victims and reintegrate offenders into the community. Prefacing a careful appraisal of both optimistic and negative accounts of restorative justice, John Braithwaite makes the seemingly innoccuous comment that restorative justice is present particularly in the families, schools and churches of all cultures, and that ‘all cultures must adapt their restorative traditions in ways that are culturally meaningful to them’. However, as an anthropologist I approach matters of tradition and cultural meaning with a great deal of caution since the more closely one examines them, the more equivocal they invariably prove to be. In this chapter, about a peri-urban village in Papua New Guinea, I contextualise a judicial process which might be glossed as restorative in issues of communal identity, the interpretation of tradition and the negotiation of modern sociality. I hope to show here that restorative justice cannot be the age of steam
