Restorative Justice
Restorative Justice can give someone who has experienced crime the chance to meet or communicate with the person who has harmed them. It is a way of giving a person who has been affected by a crime a voice, and it can also hold an offender to account for what they have done.
If someone has experienced a crime they can choose whether or not they want to take part in Restorative Justice. It is a choice.
Restorative Justice can help a person to cope and recover from a crime. It can also reduce the chance of an offender committing crimes again. Restorative Justice is available for all crimes and at any stage of the criminal justice process.
