I think that the restorative justice model would indeed help decrease and prevent crime rate in our society. This model allows the offender to comprehend the impact of their actions done on the victims and the community. As a matter of fact, crimes happen every day. For instance, If you take a look at the incident that occurred in London just a few days ago, this attack injured forty-eight people, twenty-one people are fighting to remain alive, and seven were killed instantly [1]. This attack has left the community not only in shock but also frightened of what is to come. Not to mention, no place will ever be safe, but hopefully, this model would help rehabilitate the community and the victims
