Across Europe, restorative justice has gained acceptance as a way
of resolving disputes and mitigating the harm of crime in the
community. Practitioners have also begun to coordinate restorative
meetings in prisons in an effort to reduce the harms of
victimisation and to encourage desistance from crime. This book
provides a comprehensive evaluation of Building Bridges, a
programme of restorative meetings between victims and prisoners in
seven European countries. The authors first describe how
participation affected victims and offenders. Then, through case
studies in three countries, they frame the social-ecological
contexts of the programmes, discussing the organisational and
socio-political factors that influenced how these programmes were
delivered and what is necessary for them to be sustained. Funded by
the European Commission, this evaluation is essential reading for
practitioners and policy-makers interested in restorative justice
and prisons. It offers important insights into the potential of
restorative approaches for victims and offenders and reveals the
organisational and cultural obstacles to be overcome before
restorative justice is a regular feature of prisons in Europe.
