Alaska Request to Order Restitution is a process used by the Alaska Department of Corrections to hold offenders accountable for their crimes by having them pay restitution to victims. A Request to Order Restitution is a formal request from the victim or their representative to the court to have the offender pay restitution. The Request to Order Restitution process includes four main types of requests: Civil Restitution, Criminal Restitution, Victim Compensation, and Community Service. Civil Restitution orders the offender to pay the victim directly for their losses, while Criminal Restitution orders the offender to pay a fine to the court which is then distributed to the victim. Victim Compensation requests compensation for the victim’s pain and suffering, while Community Service orders the offender to perform a service in the community to make amends for their actions. The Request to Order Restitution process is used to ensure that victims of crime are made whole and that offenders are held accountable for their actions.
