4. FAQs
What happens if I change my mind?
You can change your mind at any time, either by opting out or opting in.
What happens if I want to communicate with my offender but they don’t want to communicate with me?
RJ has to be voluntary for both victims and offenders; if the offender decides they do not want to communicate with you, our team will talk to you about what other support you might want.
What if I don’t want to meet my offender face to face?
We will arrange another way for you to communicate.
Will this affect the sentence the offender gets?
If a case goes to court then sentencing is always up to the Judge. Restorative Justice is not an alternative to sentencing. The Judge is the only person who
can decide on the appropriate sentence for the crime that the offender has committed.
