The Victim-Offender Mediation Program (VOMP)

The Victim-Offender Mediation Program (VOMP) is a restorative justice process that brings victims and offenders together in a facilitated dialogue. The goal is to promote understanding, accountability, and healing by allowing victims to share their experiences and feelings directly with offenders. Offenders have the opportunity to acknowledge the harm caused and take responsibility. The program aims to foster closure, encourage remorse, and help offenders make amends, ultimately reducing reoffending and aiding community healing. It is a voluntary process that emphasizes communication and repair rather than punishment alone.
