Reparation Order

Reparation Orders are imposed on Young People in relation to their offending behaviour. Orders are intended to help prevent further offending by bringing home to Young People the consequences of their behaviour and enabling them to make amends, as appropriate, to their Victims or the wider community.

By allowing the Young Person to undertake some form of practical reparation activity which will benefit the Victim (if the Victim so wishes it), it is hoped that the Victim will gain greater insight into the reasons for the offence and will therefore be able more easily to come to terms with the offence and put it behind them.
