Jamaica's Justice System Under Severe Stress
Friday, 26th June 2009

"Mr. Golding noted that Restorative Justice sees crime as an act not so much against the state but against the individual and the community. The victim becomes the centre of the process; and it shifts the focus of the enquiry from that of asking which law was broken and what punishment should be meted out. The questions it now poses are who has been harmed, who caused the harm and what the person who caused the harm can do, to redress the wrong. It is a completely different approach and it allows a process that is more rehabilitative', Mr. Golding said."
