Restorative Justice Programs

Restorative Justice Programs focus on healing the harm caused by crime rather than just punishing the offender. They involve the victim, the offender, and the community in a supportive dialogue to address the impact of the wrongdoing. This approach encourages accountability, empathy, and understanding, allowing offenders to make amends and victims to find closure. By prioritizing restoration over punishment, these programs aim to reduce recidivism, promote reconciliation, and foster a sense of community, ultimately creating a more therapeutic approach to justice.
