Restorative justice - the meeting (pt 4/4)
Description
A young offender and the victim of his crime meet face to face. The offender describes why he committed the crime and the circumstances that led him to do so. The victim has the chance to ask him questions in a setting mediated by restorative justice workers. The meeting enables the offender to apologise and offers the chance for the victim to gain some understanding of why he committed the crime.
