Abstract
Recent changes to the police complaints system envisage an expanded role for local (informal) resolution, with a new range of options including restorative justice conferences. Little is known about informal resolution or whether complainants would welcome the chance to meet with 'their' police officer to discuss the issues in the presence of a trained facilitator. This research report presents the results of a study of these issues carried out in Hampshire and Thames Valley.
