Victim-Offender Mediation in Europe. Making Restorative Justice Work
Edited by European Forum of Restorative Justice, 2000.
This publication is an initiative of the European Forum for Restorative Justice, and results from its first conference which was held in Leuven, Belgium, from 27-29 October 1999.
The first part consider victim-offender mediation and restorative justice from a more theoretical point of view. These analyses of theoretical, legal, policy, ethical and societal aspects of mediation and restorative justice have been written by well-known scholars in this field.
The second part of the book consists of overviews of the state of affairs on victim-offender mediation in the eight countries in which it had developed the most up till then (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Poland and the United Kingdom).
It is probably for the first time that such extensive reports on the practice of victim-offender mediation in Europe have been brought together in a comparative way.
