According to the restorative justice model, what is the true purpose of the criminal justice system and how might this purpose be realized (via the use of what methods)?

What will be an ideal response?


The restorative justice model maintains that the true purpose of the criminal justice system is to promote a peaceful, just society; they advocate peacemaking, not punishment. Mutual aid rather than coercive punishment is the key to a harmonious society, as punitive methods of correction (such as jail and prison) are no more effective than more humanitarian efforts (such as probation with treatment).
