This question is about the article "Does the Justice System Neglect Forgiveness?"

A. to emphasize that restorative justice can achieve something that punishing perpetrators cannot  

Explanation:

The article highlights the efficiency of a restorative justice, instead of punitive for dealing with offenders and their victims. The article shows how in cases of minor crimes, victims prefer to be rewarded for what they have lost than to see offenders punished in a strict way. If this type of policy were approved, it would give a break to the country's prison system, which is flawed and underfunded and which cannot cope with the demand it already has.

In this case, the restorative policy is able to do what the punitive policy is not able to do, which is to make the victim more satisfied, to punish offenders with shorter sentences and not to interdict the prison system.
