RESTORATIVE
JUSTICE
What is Restorative Justice?

- Restorative Justice is a Theory of

Justice that considers crime and
wrongdoing to be an offense against an
individual or community, rather than
the state. It is an alternative way of
responding to crime in communities
and criminal justice systems. It requires
the active participation of the victim,
offender and community.
Objectives of restorative justice
1. Promote the victim’s healing from the effects of
the crime
2. Engage with offenders to establish accountability
and responsibility for the consequences of their
actions
3. Develop an appreciation of the impact of the
offense on the victim
4. Encourage and facilitate the provision of
appropriate forms of reparation by offenders to
victims and the community
5. Seek reconciliation between the victim and
offender where possible.
6. Strive to reintegrate the victim and offender into
the community.
Fundamental principles of restorative
justice
1. Restorative Justice focuses on harms and related
needs
2. Restorative Justice Addresses the obligations and
liabilities arising from those harms
3. The process is inclusive and collaborative
4. It involves all stakeholders in the situation:
victim, offender and community.
5. Restorative justice seeks to heal and make right
the wrongs
Attributes of Restorative Justice
- Encounters between victims and offenders
• Victims and offenders may agree to meet
together in the presence of a trained
facilitator to talk about what happened, the
harm that resulted and what it will take to
make things right.
- The obligation to repair the harm, and
• The primary accountability of the offender
should be to do what he can to make things
right. This often involves restitution,
apology, changed behavior and acts of
generosity.
- The expectation that transformation may take
place.

* Victims can become thriving survivors

* Offenders can become contributing members
of the society
* Secured and peaceful community

Restorative Justice involves three parties:

1. The VICTIM or the individual harmed

2. The OFFENDER or the individual who
caused the harm
3. The COMMUNITY or the place where the
harm was committed
 Three Pillars of Restorative
Justice

1. Harms and Consequent needs

2. Obligation to make right
3. Engagement of stakeholders
 Restorative Justice in relation to
Retributive Justice
Restorative Justice Retributive Justice

Theory of justice that considers crime Theory of justice that advocates for
and wrongdoing to be an offence punishment as a proportionate response
against an individual or community, to crime
rather than the state.

It is an alternative way of responding to It seeks to give a form of satisfaction on

crime in communities and criminal the part of the aggravated party that in
justice systems. deed the person who committed the
crime has been punished.

Who has been hurt? What laws were broken?

What are their needs? Who did it?
Who is responsible? What punishment do they deserve?
• Restorative Justice Models
1. Victim-Offender Mediation
A process in which the victim and the offender meet
in the presence of a trained facilitator/mediator with
focus of the dialogue on the harm that was done to
the victim and the offender’s responsibility for
reparation of that harm.
2. Family Group conferencing
It involves the community of people most affected
by the crime (victim, offender, their families and
friend and key supporters of both) in deciding the
resolution of the incident. The affected parties are
brought together by a trained facilitator to discuss
how they and others have been harmed by the
offense and how that harm might be repaired.
3. Circle Process
A holistic reintegrative strategy designed not only
to address the criminal behavior of the offender
but also to consider the needs of the victims, their
families and the community. The process begins
by sitting in a circle and passing a “talking piece”.
• Restorative Justice and Alternative Dispute
Resolution
Alternative Dispute Resolution is defined as
procedures for settling disputes by means other than
litigation. Restorative Justice is not a specific process
but rather a set of guiding principles and values, a
framework for identifying and addressing harms and
obligations.
• Katarungang Pambarangay system,
Juvenile Justice System and Indigenous
Justice System conform to Restorative
Justice Processes:
•Katarungang Pambarangay System is an
alternative mode of settling dispute
outside the court process. It offers a
speedy disposition of conflicts within the
community that can be resolved through
mediation, conciliation or arbitration.
• The application of restorative justice is mandated
in order to repair the harm done by children in
conflict with the law (CICL). Duty-bearers such
as the Lupon Tagapamayapa shall ensure that the
victims and their families are properly cared for
and their needs are properly addressed.
• The Customs and traditions of indigenous
peoples shall be applied in settling disputes
between and among members of indigenous
cultural communities. The community takes
active participation in reconciliation of the
victim and offender to ensure that the harm
inflicted is addressed.
