A public presentation at Cathedral Hall last night sought to teach the community about the benefits of “restorative justice”.

The event, from 6pm to 8.30pm, comprised a series of talks from members of the Bermuda Police Service, Restorative Justice Bermuda and victim awareness programme Sycamore Tree.

Restorative justice is a voluntary scheme in which criminals meet their victims face-to-face, allowing the former to grasp the impact of their antisocial behaviour, and the latter to find closure.
