This episode introduces the concept of restorative justice, in which crime victims actually have a say in the punishment handed down to their offenders. So instead of universal prison time, atonement might come in the form of community service, or in a face to face meeting, or any number of other acts of redress that those affected see as fit.
This isn’t a radical, new approach, but a centuries-old practice, that many say empowers victims and paves the road for true healing.
