Abstract
Restorative Justice (RJ) is a ‘theoretical framework’ that views crime as a violation of people and relationships, and aims to re-establish the equilibrium that the commission of a crime has offset ‘by involving the primary stakeholders (i.e. victim, offender, and the affected community) in the decision-making process of how best to restore this balance.’1 There is a formidable body of literature that attests to the effectiveness of RJ as a means of reducing recidivism amongst juvenile offenders.2
