Neighbourhoods

A restorative approach to address anti-social behaviour in a neighbourhood engages the community, prevents escalation of the behaviour and justice is seen to be done leading to an increase in the public’s confidence and a reduction in the fear of crime

At Restorative Solutions our mission is to promote the use of restorative conferencing and other restorative approaches as ‘practical tool kits’ for organisations dealing withanti-social behaviour and other neighbourhood conflicts. Working with community police teams, social housing providers, anti-social behaviour units and community organisations we provide training and advice on implementing restorative approaches inlocal communities.

“...The Police should answer to the public and not government...” was the message delivered by the Home Secretary in March 2009, introducing a single national target for increasing public confidence by 15% from 45% to 60% between now and 2012. “I have a single-minded focus on building public confidence in policing, which is why I have scrapped all but one central target for the police - to raise public confidence...”

See how Restorative Approaches can significantly contribute to achieving this target. Learn more
