Hello and welcome to the RJC website!
Restorative Justice in the Community (RJC) (formerly Nenagh Community Reparation Project) is a restorative justice project supported and funded by the Probation Service.
Restorative Justice brings together everybody affected by a crime to decide how to repair the harm caused. It allows the person affected by the crime to say how they have been affected and allows those who have committed the crime the opportunity to accept responsibility and to make amends.
Restorative justice approaches try to provide ways of dealing with the aftermath of crime which are more satisfactory for victims of crime, more constructive for communities and society and more re-integrative for offenders. A widely recognised definition of Restorative Justice is: “a process whereby all parties with a stake in a specific offence resolve collectively how to deal with the aftermath of the offence and its implications for the future” (Marshall I, 1999)
