Reparation is a practical way to pay back for the harm caused by the offence, either by directly repairing the harm or through constructive work to help the local community. The victim is usually consulted about what should be done. Reparation can include:

• Direct reparation: For example, an oral or written apology, or financial or supervised activity-based reparation to the victim.
• Community reparation: Includes a variety of activities to ‘pay back’ benefits to the community, including work similar to community service activity.
