restitutive justice

Restitutive justice focuses on repairing the harm caused by wrongful actions. Rather than solely punishing the offender, it emphasizes accountability, encouraging the wrongdoer to make amends, often through restitution or recompense. The goal is to restore relationships, restore trust, and reintegrate the offender into the community. This approach promotes healing for victims and the community, emphasizing restorative actions like apology, restitution, and reconciliation, rather than solely imposing penalties. It aims for a fair resolution that addresses the needs of those harmed and fosters social harmony.
