The case for restorative justice grows stronger
08.02.2010
The Restorative Justice Consortium’s conference on Thursday was insightful and encouraging. The range and depth of knowledge exhibited by the speakers was very impressive and the case for restorative justice is becoming increasingly more persuasive – as if we could ever have doubted it. If a new government can grasp the economic and efficacy rationale behind mainstreaming restorative justice, there can only be a win win situation. It really is time for the policy makers to start taking on board much of the common sense evidence based approaches which are being presented by the criminal justice experts to support the needs of victims – for the sake of the public and the public purse.
