Ms Molly Joyce:

I do not have any figures on the reoffending rates of people who have engaged in restorative justice. In our submission, we cited the 62% of people released from prison in 2015 reoffending within three years. The comparative figure for people for that period who had engaged with probation was 49%. Therefore, it was lower. Unfortunately, I do not have a breakdown of exactly what engagement that was with probation services. It may be something that the Probation Service can pick up. It certainly is something that I can look into further and come back to the Deputy on. It is important to see whether we can show the impact of restorative justice. It is something we would be interested in exploring further.
