Circle justice is a Native American form of justice originating in Canada that seeks healing in contrast to the regular punishment ways and is portrayed in the novel "Touching Spirit Bear."
The main purpose of circle justice is to heal the offender, victim and community whereas punitive only focuses on punishing the offender. It is used to create peace within a community after it has suffered a harsh crime due to bad circumstances.

In one scenario, it showed how two girls overcame their argument and really expressed how they felt towards the dean and their parents. That's mainly what restorative justice is all about. The point for punitive justice is not about restoring relationships, or taking responsibility for your actions, all they seek is for the offender to get punished. But now, that no longer fits this society. Now, its all about learning from your mistakes and correcting your errors.
