JISTV | Ministry of Justice 16th Staging of Restorative Justice Conference

Restorative Justice (RJ) seeks to resolve conflict by having all parties involved come together to reach an agreement. It is a different way of thinking about crime and conflict.

RJ focuses on holding the offender accountable in a more meaningful way. It repairs the harm caused by the offence, helps to reintegrate the offender into the community and helps to achieve a sense of healing for both the victim and the community.

Restorative Justice Conferences and Circles are some of the tools used in RJ. A victim may meet with the offender face to face in a Victim/Offender Conference, or with the Offender and persons from the larger community in a Family Group/Community Conference. A Healing and Talking Circle can also be held to focus on a common concern in order to aid in healing. A Sentencing Circle can also be used to arrive at a sentencing plan for an offender.
