"Restorative justice is an approach to justice in which the response to a crime is to organize a facilitated dialogue or meeting between the parties involved, including the victim and the offender, and sometimes with representatives of a wider community present as well. The goal is for the parties to share their experience of what happened, to discuss who was harmed by the crime and how, and to create a consensus for what the responsible party will do to repair the harm from the offense. This may include monetary restitution given from the offender to the victim, apologies and other amends, and other actions to make things as right as possible for those affected and to prevent the offender from causing future harm."
