We all want there to be less crime in our local areas. But many people who have committed crimes become trapped in a cycle of criminal activity.
Restorative Justice can help to break this cycle and reduce reoffending, making our communities safer.

Last night, the Why me? team attended a powerful performance of 'Punch' the play followed by the post-show panel featuring our Ambassador Nick, Michael Palin and Calm Mediation's Julie Clark. Nick said "Before Restorative Justice I was a victim, but after, I felt like a survivor".

The theme of this year's #RJWeek is Restorative Justice as a human right. We asked our Ambassadors what they thought about it and we will be sharing their responses every day this week. This was the view of Sheldon, who was attacked by a young person, in an attempt to steal his phone.

By giving retailers the chance to explain the impact on their livelihood, and those who've committed retail crimes the chance to understand and make amends, it can enable everyone to move on.
