Talking about CJS, Restorative Justice, a bit of Autism here & there, MH OCD in particular & life in general.
Yep. Such a terrible question.

I've seen it help people immensely. Nothing can change what happened, but we can sometimes help people find some closure. Forgiveness doesn't have to be part of the process, either. Often people think they have to forgive, but they really don't.

Send me some dates and I WILL honour at least one of them 🙂

Jon, I have had a ridiculous few weeks and I believe I need to catch up with you amd probably buy you several coffees!! Do you still want to chat?

I'm late to this but can kind of work is taking place all the time. I'd caution to look for practitioners who are registered and accredited with Restorative Justice Council as this provides quality and safety, imo.

Ha! Good point 😆

I always imagine one of those early Star Trek worlds where everyone wore the same clothes and smiled serenely as they went about their days. Behind closed doors, things were always rather less 'dreamy'.

The larger Forces tend to be more guilty of change resistance in my experience. I've seen great flexibility and willingness to look at new ideas in smaller Forces. Unfair funding makes this very challenging tho.

Oh, yes please! 👍👋

Complete adherence is definitely not my utopian ideal. I love the challenge of virtue ethics. It's ever changing, even within ourselves. Making laws all the more important but also all the more challenging for developing communities.

Great convo, gents. Virtue ethics - what is a 'good life'? Who decides? There has to be protection & force available to any well functioning society. How it's used & crucially how it's judged should look very different to what we've got now.

We shall see. I'm thus far very disappointed but your caution is wise, Matt.

Why would a successful approach to a problem in say, Liverpool, be successful in say, Suffolk? You cannot overlay solutions on vastly different areas just because its all 'Policing'.

If I were a PCC, I'd likely be a Labour one. I'd disagree the Home Sec on this all day, every day. And then some.

Easy way for Govt to deal with that....

Third, the big problem last time the Home Office monitored police like this was it incentivised police forces/leaders to fiddle the stats, which made the stats useless. There's lots to learn from the Curtis Review into target-driven perverse incentives: http://bit.ly/3APlBGW

It ok. Better now there are more people but I recognise I have a part to play here too. There's only content if we create it!
