Often involves compensating the victim of a crime by ordering the offender to pay a sum of money to the victim.
Also aims to ensure offenders 'pay back' and repatriate society by completing unpaid community work.
Restorative justice schemes also created whereby offenders and victims meet. Offenders can make direct repatriation through writing letters of apology, reparing any damage caused and explaining the event/reasons for the crime face to face.
