That won't affect the victims physiologically at all, nope
What do you mean physiologically? You mean take revenge? How does that heal the victim and change the offender for the better?
The point with restorative justice is the process to answer to a victims trauma.
Like i said people take turns answering questions, What happened? , What needs arrive?, Whose responsibility is it to meets those needs?, it requires for people to take responsibility and to repair things as much as possible. And to never commit that crime again.
It's isn't about feeling sorry, it is about doing sorry.
Its about adhering to the needs of those who you hurt. Sometimes the person who can make the greatest contribution to a survivers healing is the person who harmed them.
Punishment is just passive, it doesn't require people to act and it certainly doesn't require for them to change. When you lock people up you excuse them from their responsibility to answer for what they have done.
