Yukon Circle Sentencing

Yukon Circle Sentencing is a restorative justice process used in the Yukon for certain offenders. It involves bringing together the accused, victims, their families, community members, and support people in a facilitated meeting. The goal is to promote accountability, healing, and reintegration by discussing the impact of the offence and collaboratively deciding on appropriate consequences and actions. This process emphasizes community involvement and personal responsibility, aiming to address the underlying issues and promote reconciliation, rather than relying solely on traditional punitive measures.
