When a crime is committed, not only is the victim harmed but the community is harmed as well. Under the Balanced and Restorative Justice principles that Pennsylvania follows, criminals have an obligation to repair that which they have harmed.

Victims are repaid for any financial losses they suffered because of criminal behavior. These losses may include property loss, medical bills, home and car repairs, insurance deductible, etc. Paying restitution is a way for persons involved in a crime to take responsibility for their actions and trying to right the wrong they committed.
