Youth corrections. Restorative Justice processes are efforts to find ‘common ground’ between the Victim, Community, and Offender. Restorative Justice is a mechanism of achieving the goals of the community. It is a model within the framework of community justice which emphasizes that crime is a violation of individuals, communities, and relationships and ‘creates an obligation to make things right’. It includes all responses to crime aimed at doing justice by repairing the harm that the crime causes.
