Restorative Justice

What is Restorative Justice?

Restorative Justice Initiatives (RJI) are multi-beneficial, victim/offender conferencing programs of the Fairfield Center. Restorative Justice Initiatives:

• Focus on the harms of wrongdoing beyond the rules that have been broken
• Work toward the restoration and empowerment of victims and responding to their personal needs
• Support offenders while encouraging them to understand, accept and carry out their obligations to the victim(s)
• Provides opportunities for dialogue (direct or indirect) between victim(s) and offender(s) as appropriate
• Involve and empower the affected community through the justice process and increases its capacity to recognize and respond to community bases of crime
