Abstract
South African judicial officers have adopted, but only to an extent, the concept of restorative justice (A Skelton and M Batley 'Restorative justice: a contemporary South African review' 2008 Acta Criminologica 42, 49; cf SS Terblanche Guide to sentencing in South Africa (2007) 177 and S v Maluleke 2008 (1) SACR 49 (T)). This aims to hold offenders accountable in a meaningful way while addressing the needs of victims and the larger community.
