A
restorative justice dialog is a
voluntary discussion, held in
the presence of a mediator,
between a victim of a crime, or
the victim’s family members, and
the offender. The purpose of
the dialog is to allow the
victim to obtain answers to any
questions that they may have of
the offender regarding the
crime. The dialog also allows
the offender to answer the
victim’s questions and to
apologize to the victim, thereby
taking the ultimate
responsibility for his or her
actions. This dialog often
contributes to the victim’s
healing process, and to the
offender’s rehabilitation.
