Encounter is the starting point, a facilitated meeting that brings together people most impacted by crime to determine how to repair harm. Encounters start with an invitation, and all parties participate voluntarily. There are three keys to effective encounters.
Before offenders can participate, they must take responsibility for their wrong and want to make amends.

Uh… run for election on a platform of anti-imperialism and anti-Zionism?
Seeking power isn’t a restitution move.
Okay what would you consider “showing that he got better?” That a person became nicer doesn’t tend to make the news.
Not raping would be a fantastic start.
Restorative justice isn’t just being “nicer”.
Maybe you victim blamers can learn a little bit about restorative justice and what Platner should’ve done if he actually wanted to repent.
