International Restorative Justice week starts on the 15th November 2020 until the 21st November 2020. The week provides a unique opportunity every year to focus public attention on Restorative Justice and the potential benefits for those involved. 
Restorative Justice is the process of bringing together victims of crime and their offenders to discuss the impact of the crime, repair the harm and find a positive way forward. It offers victims the chance to be heard, get answers to questions and provide a sense of closure. It also forces offenders to face up to the impact of their behavior and in this way can help to reduce reoffending. 
Given that hate crimes are known to have a greater impact on victims than many other crimes – being more likely, for example, to cause fear, anxiety and depression – giving victims an active role in how the offence is dealt with is surely vital. 
RJ holds offenders to account for what they have done and encourages them to recognise the harm that they have caused. In cases involving hate crime, it can be particularly important for offenders to come face to face with the consequences of their actions and see their victims as individuals. It&#x27;s far easier (one can only suppose) to shout obscenities at a stranger in the street or post poisonous messages on Twitter than to sit opposite another person and hear from them exactly how much you&#x27;ve hurt them. 
In April 2018, Restorative Solutions were commissioned by the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner to deliver a Restorative Justice Service across West Yorkshire.
