Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restorative justice prioritizes the needs and perspectives of the victim, and seeks to address the harm caused by the offender. This approach recognizes that crime has a personal impact on the victim, and therefore involves the victim in the process of resolving the offense. This can involve various forms of dialogue, mediation, and restitution, as well as a focus on rehabilitating the offender and preventing future harm. Choice A reflects a more traditional view of crime as a violation of the law and the state's interest in maintaining order. Choice B emphasizes individual responsibility but does not necessarily prioritize victim participation or restoration. Choice D reflects a punitive approach that emphasizes punishment rather than restoration or rehabilitation.
