In the final analysis, can it be an effective and appropriate approach to crime and delinquency in Canada? Explain Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behaviour. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that include all stakeholders. Restorative justice is also the process for resolving crime and conflict that focuses on redressing the harm to victims, on holding offenders accountable for their actions and on engaging the community in the conflict resolution process. There are cons and pro’s about using restorative justice on the victim and the offender. The restorative justice is an opportunity to reconstruct the lives of victims by expressing their feelings and getting answers to questions they have about the incident and supporting the victim. Restorative justice comprise of accepting responsibility for the actions the offender has done by repairing the harm they have done to the victim. The process involves the victim, the offender, and the community which allows every party to be involved and have control over the process. Restoration allows offenders to re-integrate themselves into the community. The offender and victim have an opportunity to communicate by developing a relationship to settle an agreement and restore community order and peace. The cons of the restorative justice system is that the offender may feel anxiety about having to face the victim however it can be and advantage because it allows the offender to face the consequences of his/her action and to take responsibility of the wrongdoing. There have been debates about the definition of restorative justice having a misunderstanding with the term “community justice”. The restorative justice may not work on all offenders, it varies what offence was committed and this can result to time wasted. The victim may be too hurt by the offender’s wrongdoing and cannot deal with the offender again which can harm the victim for life even with rehabilitation. The restorative justice will only help some victim but it will never be able to help solve the problems to all cases. Restorative justice can be an effective and appropriate approach to crime and delinquency in Canada. Restorative justice is divided into different sections in the process that allow both victim and offender to slowly come to a conclusion about the case. Victims want to know more about why this happened and more specifically why it happened to them. They need answers to feel secure and start to trust, understand, and help. After being victimized, confusion will lead to suffering physically, emotionally, and financially because of the complication of the criminal justice system. A common offence is a male committing sexual assault on a female. Once the female is victimized, she will forever remember the incident and will be paranoid about everything relating to sexual assault. This can create a big impact on the victim’s future if she does not confront with the offender and knowing the reasons to the offence done. The offender may have no feeling about the offence but their actus reus betrayed the actions. It also takes courage to face an offender who has done nothing but harm to your life and the female does not know if it will happen again. The relationship between the offender and victim is significant to solving the case.
