To what extent is restorative justice able to 'restore' the harm
suffered by victims of crimes of interpersonal violence?
Restorative justice is an innovative, participatory and inclusive
reaction to crime that permits victims and offenders to engage in a
communication process about the consequences of the offence. It
looks to the future, actively involving parties to find, agree and
implement ways to repair the harm. Restoring Harm analyses the
restoration process from a psychosocial point of view and discusses
the role of victim-offender mediation within such a process. It
brings together literature from the fields of restorative justice,
victimology and psychology, and shares original findings from
victims who were interviewed in Belgium and Spain. This book not
only offers descriptive findings but also provides a theoretical
and comprehensive model that elucidates several possibilities for
why victim-offender mediation may or may not play a role in
victims' processes of emotional restoration. Well informed and well
documented, this volume brings together evidence from different
regions and develops a detailed discussion of the 'effectiveness'
of restorative justice with regard to victims. Providing new and
solid evidence thanks to a quasi-experimental methodological
design, theory and practice come together to offer relevant
reflections for researchers and practitioners who are concerned
about the victim's position within victim-offender mediation and
desire to develop a victim-sensitive restorative justice practice.
