Restorative justice principles must be incorporated into our public policies since justice systems are impacted by legislation written and supported by public officials. We are strong advocates for evidence-based research supporting the use of restorative justice. RJI is committed to victims-driven restorative justice which seeks to restore crime victims, as much as possible, as well as communities also injured by crime while urging offender accountability. RJI partners with its Affiliate members and others who support our efforts and seek to work with us in a robust manner around the world.
