Essay / Criminal Justice Case Study - 731
Restorative justice emerged with the intention of recognizing victims of neglect and their needs, so only in this aspect is it fair to the victim when it is accomplished. In other words, if there is no balance, for example paying more attention to the offender or the community rather than the victim or the vice, there cannot be fairness . On the other hand, it can only be fair to society when justice is truly served and offenders re-enter society as law-abiding citizens. Unfortunately, if the resources used in restorative justice do not rehabilitate an offender and they reoffend, it is not fair to society.6. I was recently the victim of a property crime and if the authorities had found out who did it, I would like restorative justice to deal with it, because in addition to dealing with the harm caused by the invasion of the privacy of my home, I finally wanted to know why. Plus, I wanted an apology and for them to replace whatever was lost. 7. If I were the victim of a violent personal crime, I would want the restorative justice system to deal with it, because I believe that rehabilitation requires more than incarceration. Furthermore, the punishment would not be sufficient because it would not help resolve the problems within the offender, which could subsequently prevent him from reoffending. Needless to say, our current criminal justice system would simply lock up my offender and then release them later, without any real rehabilitation to prevent it.
