The traditional justice system is focused on the state punishing an offender for a crime. Victims are often left out and may not feel satisfied by the process. Restorative justice gives people who have been harmed by conflict and crime an opportunity to ask the offender questions and to have a say on how harm can be repaired.
Support for Victims
Victim Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP) and Youth Restorative Justice Program (YRJP)
VORP and YRJP offer opportunities for people who have been harmed to seek accountability from those who have harmed them through a restorative process led by CJI facilitators.
