Restorative justice focuses on harm to victims and community. By working collaboratively with victims, offenders, and community members to repair the harm, the aim is to restore relationships that have been broken by the offense. Restorative justice recognizes that it is not always possible to replace what a victim lost in the aftermath of an offense, but the goal is to settle the matter as much as possible. In the process, it aims to restore the offender to a law-abiding life, and repair the damage caused by the offense to the community.
