Repair or Revenge? Victims and Restorative Justice - Prind on Demand Title

Zusatztext ...Strang goes beyond the simple assessment of 'satisfaction' to the value of the informal proceedings as well as the outcome... this research shows that while we should not claim too much or raise expectations too far! good quality restorative justice apparently gives victims more of what they want than the conventional process. Informationen zum Autor Dr Heather Strang is Director of the Centre for Restorative Justice and a Fellow at the Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University. Klappentext Restorative justice has become the emerging social movement for reform in the criminal justice system over the past decade. It refers to a range of informal justice practices designed to require offenders to take responsibility for their wrong-doing and to meet the needs of affected victims and communities. This book! based on empirical research findings! investigates whether restorative justice can offer victims of crime more than the formal court-based justice system. Zusammenfassung Drawing on a five-year study of the impact of a restorative justice programme on victims of property and violent crime, Strang presents evidence to show that the restorative alternative of conferencing more often than court-based solutions has the capacity to satisfy victims' expectations of delivering restoration.
