At the root of the concept of restorative justice is the notion that a crime not only violates some particular legal statute, but also harms the victim, his or her family and the community at large. It is crucial in restorative justice that the victim is willing to forgive, and that the offender is willing to take responsibility for his or her actions and show remorse. How did Brandt Jean’s and Amber Guyger’s actions show an example of restorative justice in her trial for murdering his brother?
