What is a justice circle and why should I be interested?

As a victim of youth crime, a Justice Circle can provide you with a unique opportunity to:

• Receive answers to questions about the offense that only the offender can provide
• Express your frustrations and concerns directly to the person who should hear them – the offender
• Have direct input into determining what the offender can do to make restitution and repair the harm which has been caused
• Receive support throughout this process
