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.

Yes, but it depends widely if the person should get it based on multiple different factors such as the reaso for the crime and the crime itself,

Yes, provided they were mild in severity and non-violent in nature
@9ZTP9QZ5mos5MO
