Restorative Justice is about communication
Restorative Justice can create an opportunity for those harmed by crime or conflict, and those responsible for the harm, to communicate about what has happened. It is a safe, empowering process where all parties are supported to repair the harm and find a positive way forward.

For some people who have been affected by crime, it can help them to explore why the crime happened. It can help victims move forward and feel less fearful of crime in the future.

Evidence shows that most people who take part in a Restorative Justice process come away feeling satisfied because it has allowed them to have their say.

Restorative Justice has a proven, significant impact in supporting victims and allowing them to move forward with their lives. 85% of victims who have participated in Restorative Justice would recommend the Restorative Justice process.

For offenders, Restorative Justice can help provide the opportunity for them to accept responsibility and recognise the impact that their offending behaviour has had on others. The process can also allow offenders to seek ways to repair some of the harm caused and make amends.

In this way, Restorative Justice has the potential to help rehabilitate offenders and support them in addressing their offending behaviour.
