| | Restorative justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Restorative justice is a theory of criminal justice that focuses on crime as an act against another individual or community rather than the state. | | | In more serious cases, restorative justice may be part of a sentence that includes prison time or other punishments. | | | Cases in which the offender denies responsibility for the crime or has no remorse are unsuitable for restorative justice and are usually referred back to court. |

| | Restorative justice is a forward-looking, preventive response that strives to understand crime in its social context. | | | Restorative justice might also have an important role in responding to severe human rights violations or cases of genocide. | | | Restorative justice in the international context is therefore linked to social structural changes, reconstruction programs to help communities ravaged by conflict, democratization, and the creation of institutions of civil society. |

| | Restorative Justice |
| | Restorative Justice is not a new concept; it can be traced to the legal systems of ancient cultures. | | | New juvenile justice legislation has introduced the idea of family conferencing as one alternative to prosecution in court. | | | We are witnessing the creation of a large number of restorative schemes and projects in countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States, but also in Europe and the United Kingdom. |

| | Restorative Justice |
| | Good restorative justice programs have well-trained facilitators who are sensitive to the needs of victims and offenders, who know the community in which the crime took place and who understand the dynamics of the criminal justice system. | | | To help a victim decide whether or not to participate in a restorative justice program, the victim should be given complete information about the restorative justice process, possible outcomes, her or his role, the role of the offender and other process participants, as well as information about the criminal justice system options. | | | The criminal justice system is working out ways to make sure that restorative justice programs give victims a voice in the process without pressuring them to participate or causing them more distress. |

| | Restorative Justice with Respect to Domestic Violence & Sexual Abuse |
| | While our traditional justice approaches tend to see crime as a violation of the state and seek punishment of the wrongdoer, a restorative justice approach sees crime as a violation of people and relationships and justice as repairing the harm done. | | | A chart highlighting retributive justice, restorative justice, and restorative justice as it applies to family violence situations follows on the next four pages. | | | This integration of restorative justice philosophies and domestic violence/sexual abuse knowledge is not an easy one. |

| | As a result of the Balanced and Restorative Justice (BARJ) project supported by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the U.S. Department of Justice, numerous county and state jurisdictions throughout the country are examining the merits of restorative justice. | | | For many crime victims their encounter with the justice system leads to increasing frustration and anger as they are largely ignored, and are not often even provided with information about the process, court date changes, and the final disposition of the case. | | | Finally, a working subcommittee of the United Nations is currently examining the concept of restorative justice and will be preparing a draft resolution for presentation at a conference of the United Nations in the year 2000. |

| | These encouraging findings and the fact that restorative justice processes are already being used in New Zealand in a variety of shapes and forms, both within and outside the criminal justice system, provides a sufficient basis for New Zealand to move further forward in the implementation of restorative justice processes for adult offenders. | | | Thus, not all systems of conferencing conform with the principles underlying restorative justice; and not all systems of conferencing can act as case studies of restorative justice. | | | Maori justice practices to a large extent were dismantled, at least on an official level. |

| | Restorative Justice Principles |
| | The actions of the Restorative Justice authorities and the consequences imposed should be tested by whether they are reasonable, restorative, and respectful (for victim(s), offender, and the community). | | | PRINCIPLES #2: Restorative Justice recognizes that crime (violation of persons and relationships) is wrong and should not occur and also recognizes that after it does, there are dangers and opportunities. | | | VORP is a structure to encourage and assist in changing the focus of crime from the violation of law to the violation of human relationships for those cases where the offender admits responsibility. |
