Underpinning definition of Restorative Justice
Restorative justice is a community-based process that offers an inclusive way of dealing with offenders and victims of crime through a facilitated conference. Restorative conferencing brings victims into the heart of the criminal justice process, and provides encouragement for offenders to take personal responsibility for their offending, the opportunity for the healing of victims and offenders to commence, and where appropriate, the application of more practical and helpful sanctions. It is a procedure which focuses on accountability and repairing the damage done by crime rather than on retribution and punishment. Restorative justice processes create the possibility of reconciliation through the practice of compassion, healing, mercy and forgiveness.
