Latest News: Offering Restorative Justice to victims of serious crime would save £185million over two years by reducing crime


Restorative Justice gives victims the chance to tell offenders the real impact of their crime, to get answers to their questions and to receive an apology. It gives the offenders the chance to understand the real impact of what they’ve done and to do something to repair the harm. Restorative Justice holds offenders to account for what they have done, personally and directly, and helps victims to get on with their lives.

Restorative Justice is also being used successfully outside the Criminal Justice System, for example, in schools, workplaces, care homes, health services and communities.


Research shows that Restorative Justice is wanted by victims and helps victims who choose to take part by reducing stress and the desire for revenge.

Restorative Justice also helps offenders and UK trials have proven that Restorative Justice reduces reoffending by an average 27%. 

Reductions in reoffending lead to cost savings of up to £9 for every £1 spent delivering the Restorative Justice service.

But only a tiny minority of victims of crime in our country have access to Restorative Justice. Our vision is for every person harmed by conflict to have the opportunity to resolve it through a restorative process.

The Restorative Justice Consortium

The Restorative Justice Consortium is the national voice for Restorative Justice.

We provide information about Restorative Justice to the public; support and resource our members who deliver Restorative Justice and promote the development and use of Restorative Justice.

We work with government and the media to raise awareness of restorative justice and campaign for our vision to become a reality.
