Restorative Justice can lead to the transformation of people, relationships, and communities. Restorative justice can also reduce crime, reduce repeat offending, divert individuals from the criminal justice system, reduce the costs of criminal justice, reduce the number of victims, desire for violent revenge against their offenders, and the backlog of court cases, and provide both victims and offenders with more satisfaction than traditional criminal justice allows.
