Is UK Restorative Justice representation and delivery ever iniquitous?

The Shift in Restorative Justice from a Bottom-Up radical movement to a Top-Down iniquitous power structure.

Giles Fraser, formerly of St Paul's Cathedral until the OCCUPY protest, tells a poignant parallel tale of how the radical Christianity that was sometimes literally underground (in Catacombs), was changed by a Roman Emperor to serve his (and the state's ends). A transcript of this talk that Giles Fraser gave on Start the Week today is available for those who care about this parallel in the development of restorative justice; whittled down to a version for the state's purposes, which are less challenging to authorities than the original idea.
