What is Restorative Justice?
Restorative Justice
“Is a process to involve, to the extent possible, those who have a stake in a specific offence and to collectively identify and address harms, needs and obligations, in order to heal and put things as right as possible." - Howard Zehr, Zher Institute for Restorative Justice
Three assumptions underlie Restorative Justice:
- When people and relationships are harmed, needs are created
- The needs created by harms lead to obligations
- The obligations are to heal and “put right” the harms; this is a just response.
Three principles of Restorative Justice reflect these assumptions: A just response…
- Acknowledges and repairs the harm caused by, and revealed by, wrongdoing (restoration);
- Encourages appropriate responsibility for addressing needs and repairing the harm (accountability);
- Involves those impacted, including the community, in the resolution (engagement).
