Restorative Justice Practices

Restorative Justice Practices focus on repairing harm caused by wrongdoing through inclusive dialogue among victims, offenders, and the community. Instead of punishment, these practices aim to foster understanding, accountability, and reconciliation. Participants share their perspectives, identify how harm occurred, and work collaboratively to address the effects, often by agreeing on steps for amends or restitution. This approach promotes healing, responsible behavior, and stronger community ties by emphasizing empathy and responsibility rather than solely punitive measures.
