Explain the concepts of community justice and restorative justice
What will be an ideal response?
Restorative justice attempts to more wholly repair harm caused by crime, first taking care of the victim who suffered the harm, then trying to help the offender become a better citizen, reducing risk, and building community. Table 2-1 in the book compares the traditional standard of retributive justice with restorative justice, which concerns active involvement of victims and the community.
