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.
Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice was created in 1978.
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.
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.

The four dimensions of justice typically refer to distributive, procedural, restorative, and retributive justice. Distributive justice focuses on the fair allocation of resources and benefits within society. Procedural justice emphasizes the fairness of the processes and methods used to make decisions. Restorative justice seeks to repair the harm caused by wrongdoing, while retributive justice is concerned with punishment and accountability for offenses.
The roots of restorative justice can be traced back to indigenous practices and community-based approaches to conflict resolution, which emphasize healing and reconciliation rather than punishment. These practices have existed for centuries in various cultures around the world, focusing on restoring relationships and addressing the needs of victims, offenders, and the community. In contemporary contexts, restorative justice gained prominence in the late 20th century as an alternative to traditional punitive justice systems.
