Restorative Justice
When a crime is committed, many of us want our pound of flesh. Meeting the perpetrator of the crime is usually not on our wish list.
Yet under government proposals to reform the youth justice system - such meetings could become standard. It's a system known as Restorative Justice.

Eye On Wales reporter Selma Chalabi visits Lampeter in mid Wales to talk to people who have experienced Restorative Justice in practice.
In the summer of 2010, forty headstones were vandalised in the churchyard of St Peters. It's a crime that shocked the community.
Three young people owned up to the crime, and were offered the chance to meet their victims.
One of the perpetrators of the crime talks to Selma, along with the Bennetts who have connections with some of the Polish headstones, and Trish Knight who facilitated the conference.
The programme also features Crispin Blunt, Minister for Prisons and Probation.
