Restorative justice occupies an important place in
criminological literature and criminal justice policies and is
about facilitating communication between victims, offenders and
communities in search of conciliation. Research shows that victims
of crime are generally highly satisfied with their participation in
a restorative intervention, such as victim--offender mediation,
family group conferencing and victim--offender encounters. In order
to maintain good restorative practice, the reasons why restorative
justice is appreciated need to be clearly understood. In this book,
Tinneke Van Camp identifies and explores the factors that
contribute to victims appreciation of restorative practices in
order to advance insight into why restorative justice works for
victims.
Based on original research and qualitative interviews with victims
of violent crime, this book draws on procedural justice theory and
socio-psychological studies and analyses how victims value
restorative interventions. The findings shed a light on the factors
that contribute to victim satisfaction with restorative
interventions and show how they relate to procedural fairness, as
well as allow an exploration of how the timing of the restorative
intervention in the criminal justice proceedings affects victim
appreciation.
With its use of in-depth interviews and case descriptions, this
book will be of interest to academics, practitioners and students
alike. It will be of particular interest to those engaged in the
study of victims and victim concerns, restorative justice and
procedural justice."
