• What is Restorative Justice?

    Restorative Justice (RJ) is an approach to problem solving that is based around three basic concepts.

    1) That when crime (or wrongdoing) occurs, the focus is on the harm that has been done to people and relationships. 2) When harm has been done, it creates obligations and liabilities. 3) The way forward involves wrongdoers, victims and the community in efforts to heal the harm and put things right.
