- Abstract
This paper examines the attitudes of Canadian college students' towards the utilization of British restorative justice techniques in everyday policing. In-depth interviews were conducted with two academics from Humber College as well as two professionals in the criminal justice field in the United Kingdom. A sample of 188 students from justice and policing related programs in Humber College were selected to explore students' attitudes towards the British module of restorative justice. Overall students showed positive attitude towards restorative justice (x̄ = 18.09/25; SD = 2.80). The study also shows a significant difference between programs (f = 7.93, p =.000) in their views towards the utilization of British restorative justice techniques in policing. The Community Justice students scored the highest on the scale (x̄ = 19.28/25; SD = 2.86) while the Police Foundations students scored the lowest (x̄ = 17.36/25; SD = 2.61).
