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.

Greetings from behind the Great Firewall of China. I need to get back to work so this is gonna be a quick upload.
How's everyone?
If I don't visit streams or anything, it's because the firewall seems to have blocked neary 50% of your images. If I do comment, you're one of the lucky ones that China doesn't consider a threat. I still don't know how this works, it confuses me.
All I know is that I'm pooped, I gotta get this prezo done. And the bed is really soft and inviting... (i need to sleepzzzzzz)

JULY 13-15, 2015: ASPEN, COLORADO
Fortune Brainstorm TECH 2015
Presented in Association with Aspen Institute
“Technology-industry business conferences come and go. Fortune’s Brainstorm franchise, now in its 14th year, endures because of its unique blend of the power of Fortune 500 companies, the excitement of the emerging entrepreneurs of the tech world, and the connective tissue of the investors who finance them. It doesn’t hurt that Brainstorm Tech takes place on the gorgeous campus of the Aspen Institute in Colorado. It’s not the easiest place to get to, but Brainstorm Tech attendees tend to stick around, enjoy the tranquil surroundings, and have a helluva good time in Aspen while they’re at it.”
With three constituencies in mind—big-company CEOs, startups with juice, and financiers from every “asset class” from venture capitalist to private equity—this year’s participants include: Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly, President of the CVS pharmacy chain Helena Foulke, Flextronics CEO Mike McNamara, Apple’s top HR executive Denise Young Smith, Workday CEO Aneel Bhusri, and Ed Catmull, president of Pixar and Disney’s animation studios. Also attending are financers including private-equity pioneer Henry Kravis of KKR, Egon Durban of Silver Lake, and Reid Hoffman of Greylock; Startup founders and CEOs including Katia Beauchamp of Birchbox, Clara Shih of Hearsay Social, Apoorva Mehta of Instacart, Katrina Lake of StitchFix, Ben Kaufman of Quirky, Brian Sharples of HomeAway and Ben Silbermann of Pinterest. Joining them in the lineup are Stewart Butterfield of Slack, brotherly leaders of Stripe John and Patrick Collison, and Evan Williams, CEO of Medium. We’ll also hear from music-industry stalwarts Scooter Braun of SB Projects and Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Label Group. Lastly, we’ll hear two special voices from government, ex-Google executive Megan Smith, now chief technology officer of the United States; and Rahm Emanuel, the recently re-elected mayor of Chicago, a global city whose tech scene is emergent
