restitution programs

Restitution programs are initiatives designed to financially compensate victims for losses or harm caused by offenders. They are often part of the criminal justice process, where courts order offenders to pay victims directly or contribute to funds that support victim services. The goal is to address the financial impact of crimes, promote accountability, and help victims recover. Restitution can cover expenses like medical bills, property damage, or lost income, aiming to restore victims as much as possible to their pre-crime situation.
