Restorative justice builds community by providing a constructive framework to guide responses to crime, offenses behavior, violations and injustices.
Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behavior.
Restorative justice advocates that crime is more than simply law-breaking. Crime creates needs and injuries that can be addressed for the benefit of victims, community and offenders.
Restorative justice creates opportunities for victims, offenders, and community members to discuss the crime and its aftermath.
It expects offenders to take steps to repair the harm they have caused rather than just be punished and pay restitution.
Restorative Justice is NOT forgiveness.
Restorative justice seeks to restore both the victims and the offenders to whole and contributing members of society.
Restorative justice gives everyone the chance to get past the mad and start rebuilding from the trauma.
Crime is seen as a source of harm that must be re-aired. Moreover, the essential harm of crime is the loss of trust, on both interpersonal and social levels.
Loss of trust is the fundamental harm of crime and restoration of trust is a basic need.
Restorative justice values all people.
Restorative justice is a way of thinking about how individuals, groups and government respond to crime, offenses, conflict and misbehavior in general.
