RESPOND BACK ….Darlene Milan

Hello, I appreciate your point of view in this discussion It gave me a different outlook. Restorative justice is something that I would support. However, my whole thing is determining when and if someone is really remorseful for the wrong, they have done. with it is that when you have repeat offenders how do you really know when someone is truly sorry for the harm they have caused especially if there are drugs involved. In our resources we found that acknowledging and taking responsibility for a crime is a step in the right direction (Walden University). I guess what I am trying to say is who determines what is Low level when you are the victim?

Restorative Justice Eligibility

 In respect to the case provided, I do not appraise the Restorative justice approach to be used. Restorative justice may be used to address any kind of misbehavior that comes within the scope of the criminal justice system. It is likely that low-level criminals and individuals who have been severely injured would benefit from it. Cases involving sexual assault, hate crimes, and domestic violence, to name a few of the most troublesome offenders, may bring obstacles specific to restorative justice implementation (Piggott, 2018). The case against Jordan’s cannot be categorized as a low-level crime as it involves firearms and the intention to use. More to that, Jordan has been involved in other crimes which makes it harder to use restorative justice approach.

When determining which instances should not be brought before a restorative justice panel, it is common to focus on the more serious offenses, such as sexual assault and domestic violence. I feel that restorative justice should be employed in cases when the offender takes responsibility, additional damage may be averted, and the people concerned wish to participate in a restorative process. Restorative justice practitioners argue that it should only be used in situations involving minor violations or adolescents, but others say that it should be utilized in any event of injury in which the offender takes responsibility.

Accountability in restorative justice is to acknowledge responsibility and taking action to make amends for the harm done and devise strategies to stop it from happening again, among other things. In order to fulfill his responsibility, Jordan may make use of the following components:

• To begin, you need to admit that your actions were damaging, and you need to apologize for those actions.

• Recognize that you are the one who is accountable for the actions that you committed.

• It is crucial to have a complete understanding of how your actions will impact all of the people who will be impacted by them.

• Please seek forgiveness and make amends for the harm you've caused.

• Recognize the habits or practices that have led to the harm, and make adjustments to them (Gang, 2021).
