The criminal justice process involves investigation of a crime, determination of whether laws were broken, arrest and trial of suspects, and appropriate sentencing or other punishment of the offenders. For example, in the case of a sexual assault, the police would investigate the alleged crime to determine if sexual assault had occurred, seek and arrest the alleged offender, try the alleged offender in a court of law, and sentence the offender if proven guilty.
While the focus of the criminal justice process is to apprehend, adjudicate, and sentence or punish offenders, the focus of restorative justice is to meet the needs of the victim. It encourages offenders to be accountable for their actions through the obligation to repair harm to the extent possible. Integrating restorative justice principles, concepts, and values into the criminal justice process enables stakeholders—victims, offenders, and communities—to be part of fostering healing and ensuring offender accountability.
