Restorative Justice is a biblically based view of criminal justice that attempts to engage victims, offenders and the affected communities in bringing about deep and lasting solutions by focusing on healing, restoration and the future.
The CRC has been deeply involved in the issue of Restorative Justice over the past several years.
In 2005, our synod responded to a committee report on Restorative Justice and encouraged “the active participation of churches and church members in restorative justice efforts” – so we hope to provide a few resources for you here to help you do just that.
