If they wish, victims have the opportunity to help shape the obligations placed on the offender for repairing the harm. The courts and corrections provide annual reports on measures related to reparation. Community members are involved in advisory boards which guide the courts and corrections. Businesses and community organizations work with offenders to reintegrate them into the community as offenders fulfill their obligations. Faith communities sponsor support groups for offenders trying to change life patterns.
Offenders leave the corrections system with greater skills than when they entered.
Every criminal justice intervention leaves the community stronger than it was before the crime occurred.
