	Restorative Justice Online — Restitution
		Restitution provides a sanction that is more clearly related to the offence than punitive measures, and it better restores a victim to the place he/she occupied before the offence (Bakker, 1994 at 1490).
		Restitution serves to commemorate the gesture of reparation and acknowledgment of wrongdoing (Danieli, 1992 at 210-211).
		Similar research in New Zealand demonstrated that restitution was poorly used, with officials citing reasons such as: violent offences precluded consideration of reparation as a sanction; restitution failed to account for emotional harm; that the system did not view it as a stand-alone sanction; that it did not achieve retributive purposes (Jervis, 1996).
