The reason restorative justice is set up for failure is because Government WANTS the higher recidivism that the mainstream injustice system creates. More recidivism = higher crime rates = public justification for more police state control apparatus (police, jails, courts, statutes/"laws", etc) in the name of public safety.

@diamonddust22 care to explain how we reward criminals?

[diamonddust22]

Canada's justice system is a joke and is run by left wing frauds. In Canada they reward criminals, murderes, and pedophiles.  The victim suffers and the criminal gets off. It's a joke. In Canada, the court system is corrupt and full of people so out of touch with reality.

I would rather have an articulate, well minded JP like this guy presiding over my case rather than 12 angry ass, closet-bigots thinking their doing society a favour in the long run by locking up "one of THEM" w/o basis.
