Use of Restorative Justice By PC Kev Reevey Sefton Y. O. T.
What do we do with young people when they do something wrong? • What course of action is taken by • Schools • The Police
Victims still feel left out • They feel their views are not taken into account • They sometimes want to ask questions i. e. why them? • Find it difficult to move on – when dealt with like this
Offenders don’t often see or understand the impact on victims • They often give little or no explanation • They don’t often grasp the lasting effects on victims • They don’t show any emotion or apologize
The Prison Reform Trust : Aug 2012 • Prison population at record levels (88, 000) • 57% of adults who serve less than a year reoffend • Almost 70% of 10 -17 year olds released from custody re-offend within a year
RJ is not a new idea • It’s practices and ideas have been used in many cultures such as the maori’s, north american indians and in africa
RJ brings together the person harmed
With ‘wrongdoers’ • The suspects or offenders are called the ‘wrongdoers’ • This is to try to emphasize that we are addressing their behaviour at the time
With supporters of both sides
Parents & Families
Teachers
To try to repair the damage
Thereby restoring the balance
Types of RJ Formal Conference • Can accommodate a large number of participants • Can be very powerful and emotional • Takes time to organise but outcome usually very succesful
Restorative meeting • Quicker to organise • Addresses the issues quicker • Less formal • Can be very succesful
Circle Time • Allows everyone to express the feelings and listen to others in turn
RJ effectiveness more likely if: • Buy in by senior management • Willingness by people involved to take part & contribute • Acknowledgement / remorse / apology by wrongdoer • Good prep undertaken
Effectiveness – less likely: • No senior level buy in • Inadequate prep by facilitator • Poor attitude by participants • Poor time management • Wrongdoer perceived as insincere
