RESTITUTION IN THE FORM OF PAYMENT BY THE OFFENDER TO THE VICTIM OF THE CRIME, IS CONSIDERED IN ITS REHABILITATIVE EFFECT ON THE OFFENDER.

Abstract

THE ARTICLE CONSIDERS WHETHER THE AIM SHOULD BE COMPLETE OR PARTIAL, SYMBOLIC RESTITUTION, WHETHER RESTITUTION IS MORE EFFECTIVE WHEN IT IS VOLUNTARY OR WHEN IT IS REQUIRED, WHETHER THERE SHOULD BE OFFENDER-VICTIM INTERACTION WITHIN A RESTITUTION SCHEME, AND WHETHER THE OFFENDER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING RESTITUTION IN VICTIM-PRECIPITATED CRIME.
