Restorative justice to me has a much wider meaning than just diversion. If a person breaks somebody's window, the person who has broken the window should replace it for a start, and then should understand that the victim has had to sleep overnight in the cold. That is just to put it at its simplest level. That in my opinion has to happen for restorative justice to work properly.
