Restitution is money a criminal defendant must pay to the victim(s) of the crime for their financial loss. If you’re convicted of theft or embezzlement, you must pay back the victim for every dollar that was taken. If you’re convicted of OWI involving an accident, you must pay back the other driver(s) for property or other damages. If you’re convicted of an assaultive crime against someone, you must often pay costs for counseling services that the victim underwent (or plans to). These costs can be in the thousands of dollars on top of the mandatory fines, costs and assessments.
