- Restorative Justice - A03
- Bias sample
- 1. There is potentially a problem with the satisfaction levels expressed by the victims and the offenders.
- 2. There is a self-selection bias in that both parties need to be willing to enter the programme
- 3. It may be that the restorative justice programme works really well for certain individuals but cannot be used for everyone.
- 4. This limits the applicability of this type of ‘punishment’
- Flexibility
- 1. Unlike custodial sentencing, restorative justice is flexible and can be changed to adapt to the needs of those involved
- 2. Therefore, the schemes can be adapted and tailored.
- 3. However, this may present a problem when drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of this approach.
- Expensive and time-consuming
- 1. Restorative justice can be expensive, required skilled, trained professionals, time-consuming and have high drop-out rates.
- 2. This may be because both the victim and the offender find it harder to complete than they originally thought.
- 3. Therefore, the use of them in dealing with offending behaviour may be much less cost-effective than other methods.
