1RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Introduction
There needs to be complete overhauling of the justice system and more emphasis should
be given to the parties and their rights, rather than evidence and the process that was undertaken
to find those evidences (Braithwaite, John). The current justice system is far from perfect and the
judiciary and the legislature need to find ways to deliver better justice by taking into
consideration the victims, who are the injured party (Bazemore, Gordon and Mara). The research
shall put emphasis on different ways to restore the losses the victims face and also make sure that
the offenders are made to face the trial and pay for the harm they have caused. Restorative justice
is an important segment and a new addition to the already existing fields of victimology and
criminology. The entire concept of imposing justice is to ensure that the justice is restored and
the justice also improves and repairs the ones who have been wronged. The concept of ensuring
justice is to restore the faith in the society and also make sure that the parties be allowed to
continue their safe existence in the society without any hardships. The ones who have been
wronged are allowed to continue to live in the society and also the affected members be made to
be part of the system that ensures that the wrong party is made to be allowed to be reprimanded.
The wrong party shall also be made to respond to the crime. In cases of restorative justice, the
moot point becomes imparting justice and the process also ensures that the legal professionals as
well as the ones who are responsible for restoring justice. The justice system becomes an integral
part of the justice delivery system. The justice delivery system coming under the restorative
justice delivery system is important because it does not believe in face to face solving crimes but
believes in restoring the system of psychological and material injuries that are attached with
injuries and crimes that are already present in the society. The restorative approach of
maintaining the sanctity in the society is the ultimate outcome of the restorative system.

2RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Objectives:
The objective of the research is to find the different restorative outcomes in the
society and how the offenders should not be discarded and made to feel detached
and therefore they should be incorporated in the society.
To find the outcome of a meeting between the offenders and the victims so that
the issues are resolved and the members of the affected parties can find their ways
through the justice system.
The research shall aim to analyse the current justice system and identify the
defects in the prevalent judicial system. It is pertinent to find how the restorative
justice system will help in restoring the justice in the legal system.
Discussion
In the opinion of Joshua and Ayombani (2018 pp. 258), it is always believed that the justice
delivery system is not equipped to deal with the restorative programmes and therefore there is a
need for complete overhauling and also there is also a need for finding out better solutions that
help in restoring the faith of the victims in the legal system (Zehr). Restorative justice has to be
understood as an ideology that has to be understood as a method of repairing the harm that has
been inflicted on the people and the victims have to be given a chance to heal from the pain that
has been inflicted on them since time immemorial (Van Ness and Karen). There shall be
arrangement of victims and offenders and the only way to address this issue is to arrange a
compromise where the issues are put forward by both the parties (Maruna and Shadd pp. 290). In
