What is restorative justice?

Restorative justice is a process that allows those harmed by a crime and those responsible for that crime to communicate in a safe way, if they wish to do so.

The aim is to enable the victim and offender to play an active role in discussing, addressing and repairing the harm that was done.

Restorative justice is voluntary. It will only take place if both the victim and offender wish to participate, and only after they are both fully prepared to do so.
