Restorative Justice & Young People in Custody

On 1st December, Independent Academic Research Studies in partnership with the RJC held "Restorative Justice & the Secure Estate: Alternatives for Young People in Custody.

Over 70 delegates from the fields of practice, policy and research attended the seminar which launched the IARS report "Restorative Justice and the Secure Estate: Alternatives for Young People".

The delegates had an opportunity to discuss NOMS current policy and future direction for the use of restorative justice in the secure estate. The Youth Justice Board also gave some key updatesparticularly around capacity building for youth offending teams, further research and a strategy for the juvenile secure estate. The use of restorative justice in prison settings was put in context with the presentations of key projects.

The IARS report is based on a three year research programme that looked at the use of restorative justice practices in prisons. The fieldwork was carried out in the UK with a particular focus on young people in custody.
