Restorative Justice is a shift from the
prevailing thinking about justice and how to handle conflict, disputes and
crime.
Restorative justice brings crime victims,
offenders, and the community together to reach agreements that address the
harm caused to the victim, the damage done to the community, and the
offender’s need to understand the human consequences of the crime.
The goals are to repair the harm done to the
victim and the community, mentor the offender, and work toward reparation and
reconciliation.
A Citizen Advisory Board, a diverse group of
people with various skills, backgrounds and experience, governs the
organization.
