What is Restorative Justice?
Restorative Justice is a unique way of thinking about
juvenile crime and the delinquency that focuses on the harm
done to victims, communities and the relationships between
them.
This Restorative Justice viewpoint treats crime and acts of
delinquency as real harm done to the real victim(s) and the
community, not simply an offense committed against the
state.
Further, many victims, together with supporters, express a
desire to meet with an offender to have questions answered,
to explain how the crime impacted them, and how the offender
can attempt to "make things right."
This victim-driven process provides a safe setting for
victims, offenders and the community to come together
voluntarily to talk about the harmful behavior and ways to
repair the harm and restore some sense of healing for the
victim.
With offenders, we strive to teach accountability, provide
an opportunity for amends, and prevent future problems.
