Victim Restoration

The Juvenile Justice System shall support victim restoration to the greatest extent possible.

Goal: Restore the victim to pre-crime status financially, emotionally and physically.

Victims of juvenile crime are now given a central role in the juvenile justice process and have a right to make their voices heard. Victims and communities are now considered stakeholders in the Juvenile Justice System.

The goals of the Juvenile Justice System are:

• Hold offenders accountable for their actions and allow them to take responsibility for the harm they have caused.
• Rebuild relationships in the community
• Find meaningful ways to repair the harm done victims.
