Abstract

Restorative justice processes are increasingly advocated as methods that can be implemented to improve community development. Considering this expansion it is remarkable that little research has been undertaken on how professionals who work in community settings experience using restorative approaches. This article aims to describe the experiences of community workers, police of?cers, children’s homes staff, family group conference conveners and teachers as they use restorative approaches across the city of Hull. It concludes that to improve community
development through restorative approaches three pathways should be followed. These pathways centre on using small-scale restorative processes within schools, workplaces and neighbourhoods
