>The announcement today is part of Labour’s local election “community crime crackdown”, ahead of local elections taking place across parts of England, Scotland and Wales on May 5th. The party has pledged that it will:
>- “Make offenders pay back to the communities they’ve harmed with new community and victim payback orders. Local people and victims will have a say in how offenders pay back through new community and victim order;
>- “Set up new Police Hubs in our towns to put police back on the streets. We’ll give residents direct access to share their concerns and secure their communities. This will be paid for by switching taxpayer money from Boris Johnson’s £250 million yacht; and
>- “Create new ‘neighbourhood prevention teams’ bringing together police, community support officers, youth workers and council staff to tackle the causes of anti-social behaviour.”
So now they made every poor, they want people to be happy to get assaulted.
Break they’re will, piece by piece.
Introduce an element of mob rule into the sentencing of low-level criminals. What could go wrong?
I volunteered in restorative justice for a while.
We were really successful. But our service got massively diluted by lack of funds.
Restorative justice seeks to find ways for offenders to make up for their crimes. But it also seeks to find ways to prevent them from reoffending.

That costs money.
