Abstract

Restorative Justice is an increasingly used practice in the UK and in many countries around the world. In Europe, the Council of Europe and the EU have published a range of guidance on its use with, and integration in, criminal justice systems. In England and Wales, RJ plays a significant part of most OPCC crime reduction plans; in Scotland, the Scottish government has a roll-out plan for a national RJ plan; and in NI there is a comprehensive adult RJ strategy. The Restorative Justice Council (RJC) plays an important role as the national membership and standards body, and the All Party Parliamentary Group for Restorative Justice, formed in 2021 to advocate for the expansion of RJ, have relied several key reports over the last few years detailing some of the key challenges and benefits.
