Restorative Justice is an approach to addressing crime that focuses on repairing the harm caused by the offense. Instead of punishing the offender, it encourages dialogue between the victim, the offender, and the community. This process allows everyone involved to share their feelings and perspectives, fostering understanding and healing.
Through practices like mediation and community circles, participants work together to find solutions that benefit all parties. The goal is to restore relationships and promote accountability, helping offenders learn from their mistakes while empowering victims to regain a sense of control and closure.
