collaborative approach to resolving crime. It provides an opportunity for offenders to take responsibility for their<br /> actions and to understand the effects of their behaviour. Often associated with youth crime and lower severity crimes, restorative justice seeks to create dialogue and engagement towards<br /> understanding and resolving offences through a safe and equitable access to justice, while operating outside the traditional criminal justice approach of charges and criminal courts. There is<br /> a potential to use restorative justice as a primary intervention method before the involvement of the formal criminal justice system. By addressing the needs of victims and offenders, restorative<br /> justice has the potential to increase access to justice by shortening timelines for resolution and addressing the needs of all participants. In this manner, restorative justice can move beyond less<br /> severe crimes to those involving power imbalances, such as intimate partner violence and sexual crimes.</p> <iframe
