Restorative justice alternatives to criminal justice are designed to balance the needs of victims, offenders, families, friends, and the community at large to achieve social justice, repair of victims, and deterrence of crime. In the model we evaluated from RESTORE (Responsibility and Equity for Sexual Transgressions Offering a Restorative Experience), each offender and victim received individual services and met in guided conferencing to mutually determine reparative actions for the offender. At the exit meeting, the offender, as the responsible person, read a written apology to the survivor/victim. In this article, we analyze the expression of empathy in the apology, in which the initial mitigation of responsibility in early documents was replaced by acknowledgment of harm to the survivor/victim and acceptance of responsibility for the assault. Those accused of felony rape and those targeting a visible person in cases of misdemeanor indecent exposure expressed greater regret and remorse than offenders of indecent exposure with an indeterminate victim.
恢复性司法替代刑事司法旨在平衡受害者、罪犯、家庭、朋友和整个社区的需求，以实现社会正义、修复受害者并威慑犯罪。在我们从 RESTORE（性侵犯责任和公平提供恢复性体验）评估的模型中，每个罪犯和受害者都接受了个人服务，并在指导会议上会面，共同确定罪犯的补救措施。在退出会议上，罪犯作为责任人向幸存者/受害者宣读了书面道歉。在本文中，我们分析了道歉中的同理心表达，其中早期文件中对责任的初步减轻被对幸存者/受害者的伤害的承认以及对攻击的责任的承认所取代。那些被指控犯有重罪强奸罪和在轻罪猥亵暴露案件中针对可见人的罪犯比那些对不定向受害者进行猥亵暴露的罪犯表达了更多的遗憾和悔恨。
