Restorative Justice / Court Diversion

Welcome to the Belknap County Restorative Justice Homepage!

Through the programs we offer, our goals are to:

1) Encourage a sense of responsibility and accountability on the part of the offender for their illegal acts,
2) Save the county money/resources by minimizing the offender’s involvement into the justice system,
3) Help build stronger communities by leading in the effort to address the needs of crime victims and community reparation, and
4) Provide appropriate education to reduce the amount of re-offending (recidivism).
