P. 23
Restorative Justice is not
enough
▪ Restorative justice is frequently offered as the alternative to punitive approaches.
▪ It is great for developing empathy and for repairing relationships.
▪ It does not address the very reason the child struggled in the first place.
▪ If I crash into your car, I can restore justice with gifts and funding repairs. Yet, it
will not make me a better driver tomorrow. I need to address why it went wrong
and change my driving for that to happen.
