ESCALERA SILVA, Luz Alejandra  and  ESPANA LOZANO, Jesús. The role of the conflict facilitator in the reconfiguration of the masculinity of the perpetrator in a restorative justice process. Justicia [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.42, pp.161-168.  Epub Feb 22, 2023. ISSN 0124-7441.  https://doi.org/10.17081/just.27.42.5524.

In this qualitative design study, 20 interviews were conducted with men who currently work as conflict facilitators in various prosecutors’ offices in the country, in order to learn through the facilitator’s narrative about his perception of masculinity and how this perception influences his professional work when dealing with a restorative justice procedure when one of the parties is a violent man. The analysis of the information was carried out from a thematic approach following the proposal of Braun and Clarke (2006), and the qualitative software Atlas.Ti was used for the organization and processing of the information. Among the most significant findings were the facilitators’ perceptions of concepts such as masculinity and its characteristics, new masculinities and their relationship with conflict resolution, and how, in relation to these concepts, it is possible to restructure the role of the facilitator in restorative justice processes.
