Restorative justice programs focus on rehabilitating offenders through reconciliation with victims and the community, rather than through traditional incarceration. These programs often involve dialogue, restitution, and community service. Proponents argue that restorative justice reduces recidivism, heals communities, and provides more meaningful accountability for offenders. Opponents argue that it may not be suitable for all crimes, could be perceived as too lenient, and may not adequately deter future criminal behavior.

Depending on the seriousness of the crime, we should always look for restorative programs
@9S7LL4X5mos5MO
Very difficult to set precedents for what is restorative justice. Justice lies in all receiving the same treatment in the eyes of the law.
