ALL VICTIMS OF CRIME deserve THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD
THE PETITION
Restorative Justice is a powerful tool that gives victims of crime a chance to have a safe, facilitated conversation with the person who harmed them.
Perpetrators face the true consequences of their actions and victims can hold them accountable and start to heal.
Restorative Justice delivers life-changing results: 8 in 10 victims say they would recommend the process to others. It reduces reoffending by a quarter. And it saves the taxpayer £14 for every £1 spent.
But despite being entitled to it, only 1 in 20 victims are told about Restorative Justice. Too many victims are left without answers and too many perpetrators never face the people they’ve hurt.
Add your name now if you agree the UK Government must give all victims of crime the legal right to explore Restorative Justice.
Right To Be Heard is a campaign by the Common Ground Justice Project and Why Me?, kindly backed by Changing Ideas. Learn more about the campaign here.
