Restorative Justice Action Plan for the Criminal Justice System (UK) (pdf)

Restorative justice (RJ) provides opportunities for victims to be heard and to have a say in the resolution of offences. Importantly, restorative justice also enables offenders to face the consequences of their actions and the impact that it has had upon others. This action plan is a joint commitment to develop a more strategic and coherent approach to the use of restorative justice in England and Wales. It sets out the steps that will be taken to achieve this aim. Steps include increasing access, awareness, capacity and evidence.
