Restorative Justice Center
Restorative Justice is a justice system that brings together victims, offenders, and all others who were affected by an offender’s actions, to work through the consequences of a harmful event and come to an agreement on how best to repair the harm. Rather than solely focusing on punishing offenders, as our current punitive justice system does, Restorative Justice focuses on having offenders hold themselves accountable, and on repairing any relationships that may have been damaged by their actions, on the individual, family, and community level.
Our Restorative Justice Center offers Restorative Justice services to the people of Maui, and is ever hard at work creating and promoting Restorative legislation in an effort to bring a Restorative justice system to all of Hawaiʻi.
