The restorative model uncovers the damage caused by the crime committed and involves the victims, the offenders and the community to reconstruct the damage caused to all those immersed in the situation (Bell, 2015, p.53). This pretty much covers their attention. Their goal is to repair the harm caused by the crime, the harm done to the victims, and any harm that may be caused in the future by crime prevention (Bell, 2015, p.37). The restorative model has a core philosophy of pacification; which includes reparation for past harms, compromise and harmony between the offender, victims and the community (Bell, 2015, p.37). The first two juvenile justice models discussed do not include either of these attitudes. The restorative model views crime and delinquency as a “violation of people and relationships” (Bell, 2015, p. 38).

For it to be fully effective, everyone involved in the crime must be willing to spend hours rebuilding the relationship, and the victims must be able to confront the perpetrator.
