Study Notes
- Post-stricken and perpetrator meet in time and space where the perpetrator has caused harm to the victim, potentially through physical or psychological damage, even in the victim's absence.
- The criminal justice system aims to provide justice but does not necessarily resolve the conflict or fully compensate the victim for the harm caused by the perpetrator.
- The process involves police investigation, evidence collection, ensuring perpetrator's safety, victim support services, and the prosecution securing enough evidence for the perpetrator's charges.
- The perpetrator has legal representation and advice on whether to plead guilty, while the court decides on the verdict and sentence.
- Probation services oversee the perpetrator during and after serving their sentence, which could include imprisonment.
- Restorative justice focuses on bringing the victim and perpetrator together to communicate, often facilitated by an expert after careful preparation and risk assessment.
- Through structured dialogue in a neutral and safe environment, they can share their perspectives, with the victim expressing impact and needs, and the perpetrator potentially understanding and taking responsibility.
