Rehabilitation is an attempt to make the criminal whole again. Restorative justice in sentencing takes into account the length of time it might take to rehabilitate a criminal.
Restoration
restorative justice
Restorative Justice is really a theory on addressing offenders in the criminal justice system. It really focuses on repairing (hence restorative) the harm caused to the victim. This could be through community service or even mediation between the victim and the offender. While in the typical criminal justice models it is very offender focused, restorative justice has a larger focus on the victim and repairing the harm caused to the victim/ community instead of just punishing the offender.
There are several ways that restorative justice differs from contemporary criminal justice. For example, restorative justice views criminal activity more comprehensive. This process recognizes that not only do criminals harm victims, but that they all harm communities and themselves.

The field of criminal justice is wide and varied. Criminal justice is the system of law enforcement, attorneys, and the courts, the prison system and the parole and probation system that are directly involved in the investigation, arrest, trial, and sentencing, imprisonment and supervision of criminal defendants.
In criminal justice a diversion program is a form of sentencing and such programs are often run by a police department, court, a district attorney's office, or outside agency which is designed to enable offenders of criminal law to avoid criminal charges and a criminal record.
