SmartJustice on the Jeremy Vine show

Lucie Russell, Director of Smart Justice talks about restorative justice on the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2. Restorative justice is the process where victims and offenders meet each other. During the meeting the offender has to account for their crimes and make amends to the victim. The victim also gets the opportunity to tell the offender about the impact the crime had on them. The process is highly effective and is used throughout the world.

Also appearing on the programme are victims, who talk about what restorative justice meant to them and the manager of a new Nacro project in Preston where young people involved in crime have to account to other young people for their behaviour.
