Restitution Act

The Restitution Act is legislation designed to ensure that individuals or entities who commit crimes are held accountable for the financial harm they cause. It requires offenders to compensate victims by returning stolen property, paying fines, or making monetary restitution. The goal is to help victims recover losses and promote justice by directly linking punishment to the harm caused. Essentially, it emphasizes restoring victims to the state they were in before the crime, fostering accountability and fairness within the justice system.
