While I was on a conference call for work, this I&O local snuck up on me at Sugar Street diamond. I was able to multi-task and "get the shot". Aug 6, 2015.

Our "conference room" was a table in the middle of the room. It worked well for a small team.

I almost filled the moleskine (80pages?) that I got for the conference in the two days - lots a loose people sketches and scribble notes - I might scan a few images. It is great that I am now able to attempt sketching people ink only and in the presence of strangers looing over my shoulders.

Greater Manchester Police's Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan opens the event.
Police Minister Nick Herbert has told a national conference in Greater Manchester how restorative justice - being delivered by such forces as GMP - is a key element of the Government’s ‘Big Society’ programme.
In a speech to the ‘Restorative Justice, Policing and the Big Society’ event held at Manchester’s Ramada Jarvis Hotel yesterday (Wednesday 16 February), Mr Herbert told representatives from police forces, criminal justice agencies and other organisations: “I am very encouraged by the way restorative justice is being applied. At least three-quarters of police forces are using it was part of their neighbourhood policing.
“Offending must always have consequences, but those consequences should not just be punitive, but also about making good, about repairing and paying back to the victim and to society. That is what restorative justice can deliver - a criminal justice service that never stops thinking about the interests of the victims.
“In recognising the interests of the victims and the power of the community to effect restoration, and in some cases reparation too, we are describing what the Big Society is about.”
Restorative justice puts victim satisfaction at the heart of resolving incidents, making offenders directly accountable to victims of crimes such as criminal damage, minor assaults and shoplifting. Working with police and community-based organisations, victims can decide whether the offender should be subject to the traditional arrest and charge approach or asked to put matters right in a way the victim suggests. Examples have included vandals cleaning up graffiti, written apologies, compensation and even visits to police cells to show how harsh life behind bars is.
Since its launch in May last year, GMP officers have been involved in making more than 1,000 restorative justice disposals.
Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan, who is also ACPO lead on restorative justice, opened the conference, saying: “In Greater Manchester there is too much pain and misery created through cycles of crime and antisocial behaviour. We have to do more to reduce the level of re-offending, but, importantly, we have to do more to involve and empower our communities. Restorative justice has been shown to work…it helps restore the confidence of victims and communities.”
The one-day conference was jointly staged by the Association of Chief Police Officers and the Restorative Justice Council.
