RESTORATIVE JUSTICE ORDERED BY THE JUDICIARY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it is a judge who must determine the fair amount of compensation, the logical approach is to ask the victims what sum would compensate them for having suffered the harm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when they respond, how can we know they are not lying to obtain compensation above what is reasonable? In part, through a combination of polygraph testing and experts in lie detection. In reality, the reliability rate of this method is estimated at between 64% and 94%, with an error margin large enough that it is not admissible in court to rule on individual cases.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, since it works in most cases, it could be used for courts to obtain an average across all victims for each specific type of abuse, and then adjust that result to eliminate, as far as possible, the effect of &#8220;lying&#8221;. For example, results far above the average could be discarded, as they would be suspicious of having been falsified. In this way, fairly reliable guidelines could ultimately be obtained on what level of reparation is fair for each type of harm. When in doubt, it is advisable to err on the higher side, always keeping victims at the centre.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those general guidelines, of course, should sensibly be adapted by each judge to the specific case, by assessing the harm based on elements such as psychological and medical reports on the extent of the damage caused. Again, when in doubt it is advisable to err on the higher side, prioritising the protection of the victim. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, in a criminal system based on making reparation to the victim, it may happen that the abuser has so much money that the compensation is small enough for it to be worth continuing to victimize and then pay compensation. This would be the case, for example, of a very wealthy man who rapes any women he wishes because each compensation payment is peccata minuta to him. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent this, in such cases it is fair to increase the compensation to the point where it represents a sacrifice significant enough to discourage them from reoffending. Any surplus can be used to compensate victims of other abusers who have not been fully compensated. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can a person of integrity, with a sense of social responsibility, do to achieve a society in which justice is done by fully repairing harm to the innocent?:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1.
