What is Restorative Justice?

Restorative Justice is an "ethos"

"Restorative Justice is an ethos with practical goals, among which is to restore harm by including affected parties in a (direct or indirect) encounter and a process of understanding through voluntary and honest dialogue." (Gavrielides 2007: 139).

As an ethos, Restorative Justice can be applied in a broad range of contexts, including hate crime, domestic violence, or even to improve people's mental health.
