What is restorative justice?
What will be an ideal response?
The restorative justice movement is based on the belief that the way to reduce
crime is not by solely punishing the offender or by adhering to a strict adversarial
system that pits the defendant against the state. Instead, all entities impacted by crime
should come to the table and work together to deal with crime and criminals. In this way,
the restorative justice movement sees crime as harm to the state, the community, and
the victim.
