“This chapter will describe the rise of police-led restorative practices and examine shifting perceptions about police involvement in the process. It will consider the arguments for and against the police acting as restorative conference facilitators, looking critically at generalizations made about the relationship between police values and restorative values based on stereotypical ideas of ‘the police’, and conclude with a brief consideration of safeguards required if the police are to be involved in restorative justice.” (excerpt)
