Ulster Unionist Party

Agree

Yes

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), traditionally conservative, has shown some openness to progressive criminal justice reforms, especially in the context of Northern Ireland's unique post-conflict society. While the UUP has not explicitly championed restorative justice programs as a primary alternative to incarceration, their commitment to the Good Friday Agreement and its aftermath, which includes elements of restorative justice for community reconciliation, suggests a moderate openness to such approaches. However, their conservative base and focus on law and order might temper their enthusiasm for widespread implementation without clear evidence of effectiveness.

Disagree

No

Given the UUP's historical commitment to law and order, there might be some resistance within the party to fully embrace restorative justice programs as a significant alternative to incarceration, especially for serious crimes. However, the party's engagement in the peace process and support for community-based initiatives in Northern Ireland indicate a recognition of the value of non-traditional approaches to justice and reconciliation. This suggests that while there may be skepticism, there is not outright opposition to exploring alternatives to incarceration, including restorative justice, particularly if such approaches can be shown to contribute to societal healing and crime reduction.
