Contributing Article: The ffectiveness of restorative justice.

The End SARS protest was significant proof that the relationship between the police and the community is broken. This happened as a result of the cases of police brutality witnessed in different communities in Nigeria over the years where victims had been neglected and the community excluded from taking part in the decision to repair the harm caused. Instead, the State had focused primarily on transgressors (accused police), and the law which was violated.
It is suggested in this article that an effective solution to police brutality and other property and violent crimes, especially juvenile delinquency is about the need for an alternative justice process as opposed to the current criminal justice process. This justice process is called “Restorative Justice”.
