Value of Restorative Justice

The objective of Restorative Justice is to repair the harm an offense has caused. As much as is possible, that is. Dialogue between offenders, victims, and the community produces a value to the community. Understanding the other party's viewpoint, problems, and issues, is a result which can bring long lasting benefit.

There are many benefits possible. Dialogue between the parties can bring satisfaction and restoration to all parties. The opportunity to make it right can produce a successful reduction in repeat offenses. As a cost effective way to reduce recidivism, increase public safety, and produce a stronger community, Restorative Justice produces greater satisfaction than our criminal justice system. Please plan to support the Arnulfo T. Garcia Foundation (arnulfotgarciafoundation.org) if your wish is a more responsible justice system.
