Sexual Assault and Restorative Justice

Tao Hsin Tung

Abstract :

 

Many resources have been devoted to the prevention of sexual crimes and the management of sex offenders in the past decade. Sexual assaults are among those that invoke the most public problems. Sexual assault not only damages or impairs a victim’s body but can also cause serious psychological trauma. In addition, restorative justice is to make up the damage or injury caused by the crime through the perpetrator’s compensation and restitution for the victim. Maintenance of relationship and consultation are important for restorative justice. In this review we discuss epidemiology of sexual assaults, the characteristic of restorative justice, and restorative justice responses to sexual assault.
