The restorative justice and dispute resolution branch includes options for offenders, victims, and community members to participate in healing, harm repair, and crime prevention.

• A. Offenders only
• B. Victims only
• C. Government Auditors
• D. Offenders, Victims, and Community Members

Answer: (D)

The main concept here is that restorative justice and dispute resolution bring together all directly affected groups—offenders, victims, and the broader community—to address harm, repair relationships, and prevent future crime. This approach centers on healing and accountability by giving a voice to victims, offering offenders a path to repair the harm they caused, and engaging the community to support reintegration and reduce recurrence.

Choosing only one group misses essential parts of the process: an offender-centered approach neglects the victim’s need for acknowledgment and healing; a victim-only approach excludes accountability and the community’s role in preventing future harm; and involving only the government as auditors doesn’t involve the people affected in the healing and resolution process. Including offenders, victims, and community members creates a collaborative framework for repair and ongoing safety, which is why the inclusive option is the best fit.
