What are the foundational principles of restorative justice practices? Discuss how different offenses may affect how this practice works.
What will be an ideal response?
Restorative justice focuses on restoring the victim and offender in a way that seemingly best serves the greater community. It includes the following principles:
The victim and offender communicate through an open dialogue.
The dialogue includes discussion about the harm from the act.
The dialogue also focuses on why the offender committed the act.
At some point, the offender should offer an unsolicited apology and accept fault for the act.
As a result of the dialogue, the victim will have a better understanding about why the crime occurred.
Restitution and reparations are facilitated by those with skills in these areas.
The offender is separated from the action.
The focus is on the future and rebuilding the community, not on punishing the offender.
