Restorative Justice
Restorative Justice
Restorative Justice
Historically prison has been about administering punishment as a form of justice. The modern approach of restorative justice differs in the fact criminals are to make amends for their crimes.
Awareness
Awareness
- Restorative justice is based in the principles that criminals should be held accountable and responsible for their actions.
- The criminals should be made aware of the damage they have caused - whether physical, emotional, or property damage.
- There are four criteria for restorative justice to be done properly.
Four criteria
Four criteria
- It can be used for antisocial behaviour like vandalism or petty theft, or more serious offences like assault.
- The victim can choose this form, but they must volunteer. The offender must admit responsibility to their crime.
Four criteria cont.
Four criteria cont.
- There are various methods to ensure justice has been met: the victim can either meet the offender face-to-face or it can be done via letter.
- Finally, the offender usually has to make some sort of reparations to remove or undo the damage that they have inflicted.
- For example, a vandal would remove their graffiti
Advantages
Advantages
- There are several advantages to the restorative justice programme.
- The Smith Institute conducted a study that summarised the following advantages (Smith Report 2007):
- Restorative justice has been seen to benefit both the victim and offender.
- The victims are less likely to experience post-traumatic stress and were less likely to want revenge on their offender.

Smith Report (2007) cont.
- The victims were more satisfied than the traditional approach.
- The offender tended to be more satisfied as well.
- There were decreased costs compared to the traditional justice method.
Drawbacks
Drawbacks
- There are several drawbacks to the system:
- People are reluctant to use the restorative justice system.
- People are also unaware or misunderstand the programme.
- The Ministry of Justice in 2012 found that people simply did not know about the programme.
