Restorative justice focuses on conflict resolution rather than a punitive approach to the ‘harm’ of HIV non-disclosure, potential or perceived HIV exposure or non-malicious or intentional transmission. It may be a more appropriate way of achieving justice for the complainant in a criminal case, and can help both affected parties find a positive way forward.
According to the UK Restorative Justice Council
In criminal justice, restorative processes give victims the chance to tell offenders the real impact of their crime, to get answers to their questions, and an apology. Restorative justice holds offenders to account for what they have done, helps them understand the real impact of what they’ve done, to take responsibility and make amends.
