March 16, 2005: New Guide to Restorative Justice The government has published a new guide on restorative justice for local police forces, prosecutors and offender managers. The National Criminal Justice Board issued the guide 'Restorative justice: Helping to meet local needs' to all Local Criminal Justice Board members. It sets out how restorative approaches work, particularly in increasing victim satisfaction and public confidence, and points to where local areas can make greater use of these approaches. The guide can be downloaded from the Government’s Restorative Justice Strategy page. The Home Office
states that restorative justice encourages offenders to take responsibility for
their actions and repair the harm they have caused, and helps victims recover
and put the incident behind them. It brings victims and offenders into
communication, either face to face or indirectly, through a trained facilitator.
Restorative justice is already widely used in youth justice.
It can be used in a variety of settings for adult offenders: either by police,
including when someone is cautioned or as part of measures to tackle anti-social
behaviour; or for convicted offenders before or after sentencing.
