Making the Case: Restorative Justice
Created By:
DV Network
Our current system of justice simply does not work for everyone, and this infographic is just one way to illustrate that point. With nearly 37.5 thousand cases of domestic violence (DV), there were 8.1 thousand convictions, or about 20% of cases. This means that 80% of known cases do not reach conviction for a variety of reasons, and we know there are many more cases that go unreported that are not even accounted for here. This, in part, is why DVN has worked toward implementing restorative justice. We want to offer the community another way of finding justice and healing when it comes to relationship harms.
