Question 5

Peter,18,tells the community health nurse that he needs to take part in a restorative justice program because of a bicycle theft that he committed with a group of friends.What should the nurse understand about this program?

Accepted Answer

Restorative justice is a process that involves reconciliation between the offender, victim, and community affected by the crime. It seeks to repair the harm caused by the crime, rather than simply punishing the offender through imprisonment. In restorative justice programs, the offender takes responsibility for their actions and works to make amends with the victim and community. Community Services may be involved in managing restorative justice programs for young offenders, but it is not the only organization that can implement these programs. Jail time is not imposed through restorative justice programs. House arrest is a form of punishment, but it is not necessarily a part of restorative justice programs.
