In this short You Tube film - http://youtu.be/MCEboJ1k5Ek , Desmond Tutu describes his thoughts and feelings on Restorative Justice and forgiveness. In respect of reducing re-offending, it is perhaps worth us all reminding ourselves of the principles he sets out. Although describing it as being based upon his Christian values, they are surely also applicable from a humanist and other religious basis too.
Reducing re-offending and social exclusion through innovative training; promoting increased understanding, personal change and skill sets necessary when working with marginalised groups, challenging behaviour and poor motivation. Promoting public debate surrounding the reduction of crime and re-offending, particularly former military veteran offenders. Engaging society and encouraging greater understanding and responsibility.
