Restorative Justice (RJ) is a theory of justice that focuses on repairing the harm caused by crime and conflict. It is based on the belief that crime is a violation of relationships and that the best way to address it is to bring the victim, offender, and community together to find a solution that meets the needs of all parties involved.
