What Is Restorative Justice? Giving Victims a Voice

Imagine being a criminal and hearing first-hand from your victim the pain and suffering you caused. How would it make you feel? This is the principle behind restorative justice and it really does have the ability to change lives.

If you’re not sure about what restorative justice is, this short video gives you a great overview of how it gives victims a voice. The process brings together offenders and their victims so victims can explain, in their own words, the real impact of the crime. They can get answers to their questions and get an apology.

So how does it work in reality? Hear the real stories of a victim and an ex-offender about how the process changed their lives.
