Understanding Restorative Justice (RJ)

RJ is quite simply, communication between a victim and offender.

Communication can take place within a facilitated meeting, a recorded message, through questions posed via a Restorative Justice Practitioner or through letter writing. 

RJ Definition

Restorative Justice brings those harmed by crime or conflict and those responsible for the harm into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward.
