Written question asked by Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) on Monday, 7 January 2008.


Restorative Justice

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:How local criminal justice boards will measure their success in providing restorative justice.
Answer

All local criminal justice boards have key targets to meet as agreed by the National Criminal Justice Board, which include bringing more offences to justice, improving enforcement and increasing public confidence. But the use of restorative justice, which is largely delivered as part of a caution or a sentence, is not measured discretely within these targets. There is no requirement on local criminal justice boards to deliver adult restorative justice but where boards have set up local schemes they should be subject to local success measures.
