Restorative justice brings victims, offenders and communities together to decide on a response to a particular crime. It’s about putting victims’ needs at the centre of the criminal justice system and finding positive solutions to crime by encouraging offenders to face up to their actions.

A victim may request a restorative justice approach to:

Make an offender realise how the crime has affected their life

Find out information to help put the crime or ASB behind them – like why the offender targeted them

Openly forgive the offender

Restorative justice: the benefits
 

As a case worker or manager RJ may bring a speedier and more acceptable resolution to offending behaviour thus saving money and effort.

Where ‘traditional justice’ is about punishing offenders for committing offences against the state, restorative justice is about offenders making amends directly to the people or organisations they have harmed.

Pilot studies indicate that restorative justice approaches can reduce post-traumatic stress disorder in victims and, in some cases, motivate offenders to turn away from a life of crime.

Restorative justice is not a soft option as many offenders find it extremely difficult to face up to the impact of their crimes.

Restorative justice approaches can be used for a wide range of incidents, from minor anti-social behaviour like graffiti to serious crimes like assault and robbery.

Victim participation is always voluntary, and offenders need to have admitted some responsibility for the harm they have caused.

You can undertake this course in one of our BTEC Training Centre's throughout the Government Office Regions.
 

This qualification is part of the growing family of BTEC qualifications to help professionalise practitioners in ASB Case Working and resolutions.
