Restorative justice processes can be a cornerstone of PeaceBuilding and essential skills for both young and older adults.

Restorative justice is a way of fixing problems and making things right when someone has been hurt.

It helps people take responsibility for their actions, understand how others feel, and work together to fix what’s broken. This process encourages talking things out and apologizing when needed, which helps everyone grow and learn.

At home, it can make relationships stronger and help everyone feel respected. In communities, it can bring people together, reduce fighting, and make everyone feel safer.

Restorative justice teaches us to be accountable, kind, and helpful, creating peace in our relationships and communities. It’s a powerful way to fix problems and build understanding.

Embracing restorative justice principles, can create a foundation for lasting peace and harmony in our personal lives and communities.

Restorative Justice:

To promote peacemaking, reconciliation and the resolution of conflict through the development and application of restorative justice values, principles and processes.

Restorative Justice Action

The principles of Restorative Justice encourage us to look at wrongdoing—even if it’s not criminal wrongdoing—as harm done to relationships and people.

Restorative Justice, however, challenges us to look beyond traditional, punitive responses to a deeper level of analysis and problem solving.

Who has been harmed?

How have relationships been affected?

How has this act impacted the community?

What harm has been done?

What is needed to repair this harm and to heal this broken relationship?

What is needed so the affected parties can move on from this in a positive way, with no lingering bad feelings?

What steps need to be taken to prevent future harm?

Community

A collective grassroots approach to problem solving in the community

Mentorship

When a community can look beyond traditional, punitive responses to a deeper level of analysis and problem solving, that is when the mentorship of our high risk youth can thrive.

Fairness / equality

Fairness involves give-and -take in a relationship.

Taking turns; spending time with each other's friends; each having equal input in decision making and each person feeling heard.

Compromises are necessary, but they need to be done by both persons in the relationship.
