Peter Woolf was a career criminal until six years ago. He is now married and lives in Norfolk. His transformation came after a meeting with two of his victims. The project was pioneered by the Justice Research Consortium and its founders, Professor Lawrence Sherman and Sir Charles Pollard, in trials to test out the impact of face-to-face meetings between offenders and their victims.
Peter now works with Charles Pollard in his not-for-profit organization Restorative Solutions CIC, giving lectures to police forces and other groups up and down the country; and with the Metropolitan Police, helping to turn prolific and priority offenders away from crime in North London.
