Explain the basic philosophy of balanced and restorative justice
What will be an ideal response?
Restorative justice emphasizes the use of punishment as a way to restore the harm created by the crime. It is based on the idea that crime is injury and hurts not only individual victims but also communities and offenders, and that it creates an obligation to make things right. It emphasizes including all parties in responding to the crime (victim, community and offender) but views the victim's perspective as central to deciding how to repair the harm caused by the crime.
Accountability for the offender means some acceptance of responsibility to repair the harm done.
The community is seen as ultimately responsible for the well-being of all its members, including the victim and offender. The primary goal of restorative justice is repairing the harm and rebuilding relationships in the community. The restorative justice ideology accepts that crime control cannot be achieved without the active involvement of the community.
