ABSTRACT
The System of Restorative Justice has become a new and important perspective of thinking and looking at the field of crime in recent times. The system of Restorative justice has addressed the consequences of criminal actions as its aim by encouraging offenders and victims to communicate and engage into a discussion about the harm caused by the crime relevant to the particular case. There are many evidence-based arguments on critical thinking and social reform with regards to the criminal justice system contemporary to the times and the effectivity and ethos behind the principles of restorative justice. The new movement of restorative justice is operational on a global scale and is a presentation of new initiatives, programs, and projects specially aimed to restore victims. The aim of this research article is to understand the jurisprudence, theories and history of restorative justice, look into the true definition and meaning of restorative justice, to understand its values and familiarize oneself with the Restorative Justice philosophy. Furthermore, the Indian Perspective and position on restorative justice and the relevant Legal Provisions will also be delved into.
