Perhaps from Vulgar Latin *pernula, diminutive of Latin perna, which in Sicily meant pearl, earlier sea-mussel, literally ham, haunch, gammon, so called for the shape of the mollusk shells. Other theories connect it with the root of pear, also somehow based on shape, or Latin pilula globule, with dissimilation.
Restitution is included as part of a sentence in a criminal case when: 1  the court considers it necessary for rehabilitation. 2  itâs needed to make the victim whole, and.  the victimâs financial losses are directly related to the defendantâs crime.
Consequently, the number of cases eligible for restorative justice processes is even smaller. At its best, restorative justice, as currently applied, is able to help only a very small number of victims of crime.Please do not misunderstand me. It could be that for those few victims and offenders, restorative justice may present a far more appealing option than the traditional criminal justice system.he restoration that restorative justice programs offer seems limited to the resources that an offender and a community of stakeholders bring to the table. From a victim's point of view, then, it is disappointing that a new paradigm that uses the word restorative does not address critical crime-related needs.
