What results can be expected from restorative justice?

Numerous research projects have explored the effectiveness of restorative justice, and several ongoing studies keep their focus on the area.  The most essential research findings  are the following:

• Victims and perpetrators of harm and the community generally want to participate in restorative justice
• Victims and offenders have a much more satisfactory experience of justice.
• Restorative justice saves money
• Supports desistance from offending
• But these only apply,  if based upon best practice
