Holding
offenders
directly
accountable
to the
victims
and the
community
they
harmed.
Offenders
take
full
responsibility
for
their
actions.
This
requires
the
offender
to
understand
how
their
actions
affected
others,
acknowledging
that
their
actions
were a
conscious
choice
they
made,
and
their
actions
caused
others
harm. In
taking
responsibility
for
their
actions,
they
also
need to
repair
the harm
where
possible
and
avoid
harmful
actions
in the
future.
Seven
Values
of
Restorative
Justice:
-
Crime
is
an
offense
against
human
relationships.
-
Victims
and
the
community
are
central
to
the
justice
process.
-
The
first
priority
of
the
justice
process
is
to
assist
victims.
-
The
second
priority
of
the
justice
process
is
to
restore
the
community,
to
the
degree
possible.
-
The
offender
has
personal
responsibility
to
victims
and
to
the
community
for
crimes
committed.
-
The
offender
will
develop
improved
competency
and
understanding
as a
result
of
the
Restorative
Justice
experience.
-
Stakeholders
share
responsibilities
for
Restorative
Justice
through
partnerships
for
action
(community
partnerships).
