Restorative Justice: Self-Interest and Responsible Citizenship

Restorative justice is a powerful approach to justice that focuses on repairing harm and rebuilding relationships. It is based on the principles of accountability, responsibility, and empathy. Restorative justice has been shown to be effective in reducing recidivism, improving victim satisfaction, and creating safer communities.

Restorative justice is different from traditional justice systems in that it focuses on the needs of both the victim and the offender. Traditional justice systems often focus on punishment, which can lead to negative outcomes for both the victim and the offender. Restorative justice, on the other hand, seeks to repair the harm that has been done and to help the offender to become a responsible citizen.
