’Yeah I only started using it a few years ago dealing with a couple teenagers. They were extremely sorry but the most important thing is that you as an officer do not feel they’ll recommit, not that they felt bad.’’ – Jane Doe. (OPP)
‘’Something you notice a lot with victims is that they are never really satisfied. Honestly, once I’m done with a trial I don’t follow up on it. I know the victim won’t be happy; I don’t want to know how the process failed them. I just continue on with my day and do my job.’’ –Al Dick. (Woodstock)
‘’Depends on the crime. When I was an officer restorative justice wasn't much of a thing. We arrested, attended court and that was it. My son deals a lot in restorative justice but if someone genuinely is sorry for what they've done, they won’t recommit. It’s only your hardcore criminals, but you always remind them you’ll see them again soon.’’ – Larry Moore. (Woodstock)
‘’It’s not that simple. We as officers have to behave differently whenever we deal with an offender. We can’t be nice; we have to be the authority and tell them this is how it’s going to be done. The second we start to behave as their equal they’ll get amazingly stubborn. We’re not dealing with the Reid technique out in the field, we’re dealing with arrest and due process; I choose to save being polite for after I’m confident they’ve committed the crime. At that point, it’s about getting a confession.’’ (OPP)
