Assaulted Police Officer encourages others to benefit from Restorative Justice
- 2 years ago
Police Officer Coleen Mellor, who was assaulted on duty, has come forward to encourage other people to explore the benefits of the restorative justice service.
Coleen was attacked by an intoxicated woman whilst responding to an emergency call last Christmas. She was punched in the face and kicked multiple times before her attacker was restrained and arrested.
Following the assault, Coleen was contacted and asked if she would be interested in finding out more about the Restorative Justice process.
Restorative Justice enables victims of crime to engage with the person who committed the crime. It puts them at the heart of the justice process and offers a chance to ask the offender any questions that they have and talk about the impact.
