Only in the last 15 years has “restorative” justice (or “relational” justice, as it is known in the United Kingdom) been widely discussed amongst justice academics and practitioners. But the concept has been familiar to theorists for a hundred years, and its roots lie in antiquity. As a legacy of the Norman conquest, the criminal justice system under English law has assumed, since the 12th century, that the state will take action against offenders. Earlier, victims or their kin pursued private actions, organizing communal reactions to law breaking. The desire for compensation was probably at least as common as the urge to retaliate. Victims eventually lost their central role in the penal process when formal governments began asserting their authority. Crime became an offense against the state, and victims were relegated to the civil courts to have their grievances heard
