Abstract

This chapter will examine the manner in which restorative justice provides an informal alternative to the formal processes of the adversarial court within the criminal justice system overall. In so doing, the chapter highlights the significance of restorative justice as a facet of a ‘Sustainable Justice' within the community. While members of the public may be intimidated by the formal processes of the court system, the informal nature of the restorative justice conference may provide the community with a better exchange, and thereby see true justice served more fully.
