Restorative Justice Program

Civil Mediation.jpg

Edwin Hubbel Chappin is quoted as stating, “The essence of justice is mercy.” TAC takes that analysis a bit further in that the essence of justice is mercy - mercy for the victim and mercy for the offender.

 

Unlike traditional criminal justice programs that primarily focus on punishment, TAC’s restorative justice program emphasizes repairing the harm caused by the offender in a way that fosters restoration between the individuals and communities involved. Trained mediators facilitate a structured dialogue between the victim, the offender, and the various community leaders and state agencies that allow the offenders to take responsibility for the harm caused to the victims and their communities through dialogues and negotiations that allow the participants to
work together to develop a mutually agreeable and beneficial plan that repairs the harm; this may involve restitution, community service, an apology or other forms of reparation, such as follow-up meetings, support, and the like. 
Overall, the goal of TAC’s restorative justice program is to promote healing, reconciliation and accountability while reducing the likelihood of future harm, promoting a sense of peace and justice for all involved.
