Abstract

Restorative justice is a problem-solving approach to crime which involves the party themselves and the community generally, in an active relationship with statutory agencies. Restorative justice is concerned centrally with ‘restoration’: restoration of the victim, restoration of the offender to a law-abiding life, restoration of the damage caused by crime to the community. Restoration is not solely backward looking; it is equally, if not more, concerned with the construction of a better society in the present and future. A commonly accepted definition used internationally is: Restorative justice is a process whereby parties with a stake in a specific offence resolve collectively how to deal with the aftermath of the offence and its implications for the future.
