Restoration
What is restorative justice?
Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing
the harm caused or revealed by criminal behaviour. It is best
accomplished through cooperative processes that include all
stakeholders.
Practices and programs reflecting restorative purposes will respond
to crime by: (a) identifying and taking steps to repair harm, (b)
involving all stakeholders, and (c) transforming the traditional
relationship between communities and their governments in responding to
crime. more
