Why me? UK Information

Why me? is a national charity delivering and promoting Restorative Justice for people affected by crime and conflict. Restorative Justice allows people affected by criminal and other harmful behaviour to communicate with the person responsible, often with the aim of a face to face meeting. Many victims of crime feel sidelined by the criminal justice process. Restorative Justice gives them the chance to ask questions about the incident, explain the impact it had on them, and have a say in how the harm can be repaired. This restorative dialogue can transform lives by helping people affected by crime to recover, and helping people who commit crime to stop. We run projects which share best practice for delivering Restorative Justice and campaign for better implementation of restorative practice within the criminal justice system. We also deliver Restorative Justice through our own service, with our team of trained facilitators.
