This paper explores the principles of restorative justice: The victim should be an integral part of the criminal justice process; responsibility for crime does not rest simply and solely with the offender; repairing the injury caused by crime is a primary goal of restorative justice; the focus of condemnation in any restorative process is on the crime and not the individual; crime happens between people; it should be dealt with between people.

When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.
