Restora(ve Jus(ce is…

“… a process to involve, to the extent possible, those who have a stake in an

ffense and to collec(vely iden(fy and

address harms, needs and obliga(ons, in

rder to heal and put things right as

possible.”

Three Ques(ons

Tradi)onal approach

1. What law was

broken? (charge)

2. Who did it? (iden(fy
ffender)
3. What should we do

to them? (punishment/ sentencing)

RJ approach

1. Who has been hurt/

affected?

2. What are their

needs?

3. Who is obliged to

meet these needs?
