In simple words, Restorative justice refers to the legal strategy where one of the approaches to a case is to arrange a meeting between both the perpetrator including the complainant, often with members of the broader community.
Academic evaluation of restorative justice seems to be optimistic. Most findings indicate that it makes criminals less inclined to commit an offence. The 2007 research also indicates that it would have the greatest level of similar values and responsibility for any sort of justice.
