Restorative justice is a philosophy and practice based on the idea of taking responsibility for actions that have hurt or harmed someone else and/or yourself.
Rather than focusing on punishment, restorative justice seeks to repair the harm done. At its best, through face-to-face dialogue, restorative justice results in consensus-based plans that meet victim-identified needs in the wake of a crime.

"Our differences sometimes make agreement difficult to achieve. But our differences should never make us feel wrong, nor lead us to believe that what others believe is wrong. Open your heart. Be willing to embrace different points of view, different habits, different opinions and the differences that exist between yourself and others." -- Inyanla Vanzant
