What is the goal of restorative justice? How does it differ from other utilitarian perspective on punishment?
What will be an ideal response?
The goal of restorative justice “is to restore the victim and the community and to rebuild ruptured
relationships in a process that allows all three parties to participate” (Kurki, 2000, p. 236). Unlike the
other three utilitarian perspectives, all of which emphasize punishment for crime prevention and focus
almost exclusively on the offender, restorative justice views punishment as a means to repair the harm
and injury caused by the crime and focuses on the victim and the community as well as the offender
(Bazemore, 1998; Braithwaite, 1998; Kurki, 2000).
