Offender Victim Dialogue

Offender Victim Dialogue is a restorative justice process that facilitates communication between a crime victim and the offender. It aims to provide a safe environment where victims can express their feelings, ask questions, and seek closure, while offenders can take responsibility for their actions, understand the impact of their behavior, and potentially offer an apology. This dialogue fosters healing for both parties, promotes accountability, and can lead to reconciliation, creating a pathway towards personal and communal restoration. It emphasizes understanding and empathy, rather than punishment alone.
