SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS
Safer Neighbourhood Areas (SNAs) and Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs) were established in 2006. They comprise police officers, police community support officers (PCSOs), and local authority members such as housing representatives, wardens and more.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
The following questions relate to Restorative Justice.
  Are you aware of the Restorative Justice (RJ) Programme that is currently operating in South Yorkshire?
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
  How did you become aware of it?
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Restorative Justice (RJ) is usually where parties with a stake in a specific offence come together to resolve collectively how to deal with the aftermath of the offence and the implications for the future.  Sometimes resolution is achieved without direct face to face contact (e.g. via letter or a third party mediator). It gives victims of low level crime & ASB the opportunity to:
              - find out why the offender committed the crime
              - explain to the offender what the crime meant to them and how it has affected them
              - influence how the offenders should be punished
              The offender has to listen to how crimes have affected the victim and face up to the consequences of their actions.
  From this description (or your own experience/understanding if RJ), who do you think would benefit most from RJ?
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
  If you were a victim of crime, how likely would you be to accept an offer of an RJ intervention?

  To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements?    Please select one option per row
           
  Participating in RJ would make the offender more likely to reoffend          
  RJ makes offenders aware of the consequences of their crime          
  RJ is a soft option for offenders          
  RJ provides the common sense policing that I want from the Criminal Justice System          
  My community is safer as a result of RJ being available in South Yorkshire          
  RJ is a cost effective way of dealing with crime          
  RJ provides an appropriate response to low level crime and anti-social behaviour          
  RJ should not be used for offenders who have committed more than one offence
