The criminal justice system should change to become more just by allowing victims to confront offenders and by enabling mediation that lets offenders apologize; based on this rationale, this paragraph best supports which specific right for victims?

Given data

• The system could be more just if victims could confront offenders.
• Mediation would allow offenders to apologize to victims.

Concept/Approach (identify supported entitlement)We look for the entitlement clearly advocated by the text, without importing punishment powers or moral duties not mentioned.

Step 1: Identify the explicit recommendation"Allow victims the opportunity to confront the person who harmed them."

Step 2: Separate process from punishmentThe paragraph discusses confrontation and mediation (restorative-justice processes), not sentencing or mandatory forgiveness.

Step 3: Match to the closest optionThe right to confront offenders is directly and explicitly supported.

Verification/AlternativeIf the recommendation were implemented, victims would indeed have a confrontation opportunity; this is the exact wording of the correct answer.

Common pitfallsAvoid options that add punishment authority, compulsory forgiveness, or training requirements; these extend beyond the passage.

Final AnswerVictims should have the right to confront their offenders.
