Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Woolf (Crossbench). It was answered by Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) on Monday, 19 March 2007.


Restorative Justice

Question
What action they are taking to implement their strategy to develop restorative justice.
Answer

My Lords, the Government's strategy is to encourage the use of adult restorative justice, to ensure quality of delivery and to continue to develop the evidence base to show what works for adults. We have invested £5 million in pilots and their evaluation, produced best practice guidance for practitioners and introduced legislation to provide further opportunities for the delivery of restorative justice. Restorative justice is embedded in the youth justice system.
