The journey of an offender
after restorative justice.
Restorative justice is a new programme in Kirklees that brings victims in contact with offenders to allow questions to be answered. It also holds offenders to account for what they have done. It gives offenders the opportunity to explain why they committed the crime and make amends by repairing the harm caused in an agreed way. The victim has a voice in the process and the outcome. Over 90% of victims that have used restorative justice would recommend it to others.

If you are a victim of crime in Kirklees and would like to discuss the possibility of using this free service then please contact:
