The criminal justice system needs to change. The system could be more just if it allowed victims the opportunity to confront the person who has harmed them. Also, mediation between victims and their offenders would give the offenders a chance to apologize for the harm they have done.

learn to forgive their offenders.
have the right to confront their offenders.
learn the art of mediation.
insist that their offenders be punished.
have the right to impose a sentence on their offenders.
