Victims should have more power Restorative justice should give victims the power to influence prison sentences, according to a Durham University expert. Dr Thom Brooks, from Durham Law School at Durham University, suggests the current restorative justice process does not go far enough in improving public confidence and saving taxpayers' money. Dr Brooks is presenting his research at an international conference organised by the Howard League for Penal Reform in Oxford on Wednesday, 2nd October 2013. The restorative justice process allows victims the chance to tell offenders the real impact of the crime, to get answers to their questions and to receive an apology.
