Restorative Justice

Restorative justice is an approach to addressing harm, conflict and wrongdoing that prioritizes repairing relationships, meeting the needs of those impacted and fostering accountability. It centers the voices of victims, offenders and community members in a collaborative process to understand the harm, identify ways to make amends and rebuild trust. Restorative justice focuses on healing rather than punishment, aiming to address the root causes of harm, promote empathy and strengthen community connections to prevent future incidents.
