U.S.S.G. Ch. 8, Pt. B, Subpt. 1
REMEDYING HARM FROM CRIMINAL CONDUCT
Introductory Commentary
As a general principle, the court should require that the organization take all appropriate steps
to provide compensation to victims and otherwise remedy the harm caused or threatened by the offense. A restitution order or an order of probation requiring restitution can be used to compensate
identifiable victims of the offense. A remedial order or an order of probation requiring community
service can be used to reduce or eliminate the harm threatened, or to repair the harm caused by the
offense, when that harm or threatened harm would otherwise not be remedied. An order of notice to
victims can be used to notify unidentified victims of the offense.
