If all parties (Victim and Offender) agree to participate, RAMP will then assess the case and determine which of the program options would best suit the needs of the victim and the offender. Some of the RAMP options include:
Victim/Offender Mediation:
The victim and the accused person meet with a trained facilitator.
Community Justice Forums:
The victims(s), the accused person(s), and other community members who are relevant to the case meet with a trained facilitator.
Community Justice Circles:
“Circles” are a generic name for processes to resolve a conflict or issue between an offender, a victim(s), and/or community members. Circles usually involve the accused, the victim, a facilitator, and a wide range of individuals such as family supports, community members, professionals, and others.
