In terms of restitution, which costs might not be included in its determination?

Restitution in the context of community corrections typically aims to compensate victims for their direct losses resulting from a crime. When determining the costs that can be included in restitution, tangible property damage, victim counseling costs, and loss of income are directly related to the harm suffered by the victim as a result of the offender's actions.

Court filing fees, on the other hand, are generally associated with the legal process itself and do not directly relate to the damage or loss suffered by the victim. While these fees are incurred in the pursuit of justice and may be relevant to the overall legal proceedings, they are not considered a direct consequence of the crime from the perspective of restorative justice. This distinction is important in understanding how restitution is calculated and what costs are viewed as appropriate for compensation. Therefore, court filing fees would not typically be included in the determination of restitution owed to victims.
