What is restorative justice?
Restorative justice seeks to heal the harm caused by crime.
Instead of focusing on retribution, it focuses on rehabilitation.
At its core, it is a process that offers both victims and those who caused harm an opportunity to seek answers and accountability to begin to repair the damage caused by crime.
For more information about victim-offender dialogues or similar programs in your particular state, please contact your state's Department of Corrections' Division of Victim Services.
