Instead of us defining justice for the victim, we
should let them define justice for us. That may
mean getting help in the community to begin to
live a violence free life. It may mean accessing
information to help make sense of the crime.
It may mean looking across the table at the
offender and telling them how much harm they
caused. And it may mean sitting in court and
listening as the offender is sent to prison. (excerpt)
