Discuss the two most popular restorative justice strategies

What will be an ideal response?


The most popular of the restorative strategies are victim-offender conferencing and community restitution. Community conferences make it possible for victims, offenders, and community members to meet one another to resolve issues raised by the crime. Restitution is the most popular model of restorative justice. It enables return of what has been lost to the victim. The offender offers a sincere apology and promises to change the behavior that caused the initial injury. Victims seek redress for their losses, which can be material, personal, or communal.
