Restorative Justice
Restorative justice is an internationally recognized form of justice-seeking that examines the harmful impact of a crime, determines what can be done to repair that harm, and holds the person who caused the harm accountable for their actions. Accountability for the harmer means accepting responsibility and acting to repair the harm done.
