The concept of community justice emphasizes the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility between communities and the criminal justice system. This involves enhancing community life through the justice system, such as by providing community-based alternatives to incarceration or involving community members in restorative justice practices. Restitution (A) refers specifically to the payment or compensation a defendant may be ordered to make to a victim as part of their sentence. Prejudice (C) and discrimination (D) do not directly relate to the concept of community justice.
