Tips and common mistakes
Common Exam Mistakes
Pitfalls to avoid in your exams
- •Confusing restorative justice with punishment or retributive approaches, focusing on offender consequences rather than repairing harm.
- •Oversimplifying victim impact by only mentioning physical harm, neglecting psychological, financial, and long-term effects.
- •Assuming forgiveness is a mandatory outcome of restorative justice, rather than a possible benefit that varies among participants.
Top Examiner Tips
Expert advice for exam success
- •Use real-life case studies or scenarios to illustrate the roles of the offender, victim, and community, and to highlight the practical benefits of the process.
- •Clearly define key terms such as 'restorative justice', 'reparation', and 'empowerment' in your evidence to demonstrate thorough understanding.
