Restorative Justice Conferencing

Restorative Justice Conferencing is a process that brings together those affected by an offense—such as the victim, offender, and community representatives—to openly discuss the impact and work towards healing. Unlike traditional punishment, it focuses on understanding harm, taking responsibility, and finding ways to repair damage, often through dialogue and mutually agreed-upon actions. The goal is to promote accountability, foster empathy, and support the offender’s rehabilitation while addressing the needs of the victim and community for closure and reconciliation.
