Restorative Justice is a powerful tool that can transform the lives of people affected by crime. ✅ 85% of victims who took part in a Restorative Justice meeting were satisfied with the process. ✅ Restorative Justice can reduce reoffending rates by up to 27%. ✅ For every £1 invested in Restorative Justice, £14 is saved.

“States face complex challenges in their efforts to protect public safety, reduce recidivism, respond to the unique needs of justice-involved individuals returning to communities from jail and prison, and improve services for victims of crime.  State policymakers are concerned about upticks in violent crime, high rates of recidivism, increases in overdose deaths, rebounding prison populations, and the need for quality mental health services. Public policy responses tested throughout the country, however, show there are effective ways to understand and address these concerns while ensuring public safety. Through the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI), state leaders work with experts to conduct agency-spanning data analysis; develop and implement data-driven, tailored solutions to address complicated criminal justice challenges; and maximize resources to achieve stronger and safer communities. States interested in JRI may formally request technical assistance to determine the state’s readiness to undertake JRI, including the capacity to collect, share, and analyze data across key points in the criminal justice system.” Thank you to Crime and Justice Institute and CSG Justice Center.

Trust. It's a word we use a lot at StandOut, and it's great to see it featured in Criminal Justice Alliance's new report. Published this week, 'Time for Change' sets out recommendations for justice reform, through collaboration between government and the third sector. We believe the key to lasting change is long-term individual support through relationships based on trust. For the people we work with, our coaches become trusted partners who help them navigate the challenges of life after prison. More trust, more lives rebuilt after prison. https://lnkd.in/e5Gyqbrg
