Holistic Approach to Justice

A holistic approach to justice considers the full context of a situation, addressing not only the legal wrong but also the underlying causes and consequences. It aims to repair harm, promote healing, and restore relationships, rather than just punishing offenders. This perspective recognizes that factors such as social, emotional, and economic circumstances influence behavior and outcomes. By focusing on the well-being of all involved—victims, offenders, and communities—holistic justice seeks balanced, fair solutions that foster long-term positive change and social harmony.
