What Are Restorative Justice Services Recording?

Posted on: 13th, April 2023

Restorative Solutions recently contributed to a peer-reviewed, academic article about Restorative Service providers, titled ‘What Are Restorative Justice Services Recording? Qualitative Analysis of Six Restorative Justice Reporting Templates for Offices of the Police and Crime Commissioner in England’. 

Our contribution 

Researched and written by PhD researcher Benjamin Fisk, the work outlines the investigation and findings of a documentary analysis of six Police and Crime Commissioner RJ reporting templates. Through our work with the All-Party Parliamentary Group, and in agreement with a number of our commissioners, Restorative Solutions provided information used in the analysis. 

Praise for Restorative Solutions 

The author praised the services involved for our transparency; “It is a testament to any service that is willing to be transparent and open its processes up to analysis and potential scrutiny by an outside party. For that… these services should be applauded.”

He went on to highlight the complexity of Restorative Justice, “The templates themselves are singular documents which touch upon the vast amount of important work undertaken by practitioners and cannot capture the rich, transformative, and emotional detail of restorative work, nor that of those tasked with compiling these templates.”

What People Say About Restorative Justice

The facilitators have been wonderful. I feel stronger than I did. I would really recommend Restorative Justice.

Burglary Victim

Thank you for the letter, it has made a real difference to how I feel about what happened

From victim of a criminal damage to vehicle where the offender wanted to write a letter which explained what he had been feeling at the time and how sorry he was now.

Thank you for the letter, it has made a difference to how I feel.

Georgia, Victim of Crime

Thank you for the update, I felt reassured that the offender has apologised and that her behaviour was subject to some reflection and accountability.

Linda, Victim of Crime

He's done what he has been asked to do (apologise for the harm caused) - I'm very happy with that.

Kieran, Victim of Crime
