There has been research into victim's perspective of justice following crimes. Victims find respectful treatment, information and having a voice important for a sense of justice as well as the perception of a [[Procedural justice|fair procedure]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |title=Beyond retribution, restoration and procedural justice: the Big Two of communion and agency in victims' perspectives on justice |journal=Psychology, Crime & Law | year=2017 |language=en |doi=10.1080/1068316X.2017.1298760| last1=Pemberton | first1=A. | last2=Aarten | first2=P.

Pemberton et al propose a "Big 2" model of justice in terms [[Agency (philosophy)|agency]] and communion, membership in a society. Victims experience a loss of perception of agency due to a loss of control as well as a loss of communion if the offender is a member of their social group, but may also lose trust in others or institutions. It can shatter an individual's trust that they live in a [[Just-world hypothesis|just and moral world]]. This suggests that a sense of justice can be restored by increasing a sense of communion and agency rather than through retribution or restoration.<ref name=":0" />
