Restoratiivset

Restoratiivset is a concept primarily used in educational and correctional settings, referring to a restorative approach to justice. It focuses on repairing harm caused by wrongdoing rather than solely on punishment. The core idea is to bring together those who have been harmed, those who have caused harm, and sometimes community members to discuss the incident, understand its impact, and collaboratively decide on ways to make amends and prevent future harm. This process emphasizes accountability, empathy, and healing for all involved.

Restorative practices can take various forms, including restorative conferences, circles, and mediation. These methods encourage open communication and active participation from all parties. The goal is to address the underlying needs and causes of the behavior, promote understanding and respect, and strengthen relationships within a community. It is seen as an alternative or supplement to traditional disciplinary measures, aiming for more meaningful and lasting resolutions. The effectiveness of restoratiivset approaches is often evaluated based on their ability to reduce recidivism, increase victim satisfaction, and foster a more positive and supportive environment.
