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.
