LESSON 6 DISCUSSION 2 Lesson 6 Discussion 1. How does restorative justice appear to work in this case? In the chosen article, restorative justice works with the ultimate aim of ensuring that the offenders also feel as an integral in the community despite their wrong-doing. It seeks to help them heal from the harm that they caused to the victims by bringing both parties together to understand the gravity of the crime committed and its consequences (Bailie, 2019). It bases three factors that constitute “the need to belong” and agency as well as having the voice to express oneself (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020). The offenders earn the avenue to explain the stressor to their criminal acts and understanding the harm or pain that they caused to the victims. 2. What are the benefits of using restorative justice instead of sanctions? Restorative justice is the principal function of recovery, empowerment and a provision for the opportunity for offenders to make it right. The offender manages to undergo an effective recovery procedure through this procedure because they get to understand the detriments of their act to the victims and the society at large (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020). They also accrue some empowerment that helps them to push forth for their criminal record to become greater people that adhere to the country laws. Importantly, restorative justice helps offenders to earn an opportunity that helps them to transform and become responsible people without criminal doings (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020).

LESSON 6 DISCUSSION 3 3. What are possible or apparent drawbacks? It is a constitutional procedure that is available to specified criminals. It does not apply to any offender because some crimes are too serious to be solved through restorative justice such as gruesome murder cases. In such cases, the normal court procedure has to take its part because the offender deserves a harsh punishment to understand and rehabilitate from the grave crime that they committed (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020). Additionally, the victim can suffer from psychological distress if the criminal offender does not demonstrate any form of empathy towards the victim. Some offenders lack the slightest remorse towards the victim and in such cases restorative justice does not bring any success (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020).
