reparative justice

Reparative justice focuses on addressing harm caused by wrongful actions by actively repairing relationships and restoring trust. Instead of solely punishing the offender, it emphasizes accountability through restitution, apology, and dialogue between victims and offenders. This approach aims to acknowledge the impact of the wrongdoing, promote healing for everyone involved, and prevent future harm. It’s often used in community settings or restorative practices to create a sense of responsibility, restore dignity, and foster understanding among those affected.
