“…Participants were victims of real crimes recruited through judicial institutions such as court referrals following victimisation (Angel et al 2014;Beven et al 2005;Calhoun and Pelech 2013;Davis 2009;Gal and Moyal 2011;Sherman et al 2005;Sherman et al, 2015b). Five studies included adult participants (Angel et al 2014;Beven et al 2005;Davis 2009;Sherman et al 2005;Sherman et al 2015b) and two studies examined Gal and Moyal 2011). Baseline characteristics of the samples recruited, which included crime severity, age, and gender, did not differ significantly between the intervention and comparison groups.…”

“…Participants were asked to report their feelings towards both the perpetrator and the case using Likert-type scales. In adult victims, it was consistently evidenced that anger was lower in the RJ group compared with the group receiving the customary justice intervention (Beven et al 2005;Davis 2009;Gal and Moyal 2011). Further, reductions in anger were found to hold up to 10 years following the intervention (Sherman et al 2015b).…”

Examining the Effectiveness of Restorative Justice in Reducing Victims’ Post-Traumatic Stress

Crime victimisation is a significant life event that can lead to the development of post-traumatic symptomology. Compared with the general population, victims of crime are significantly more likely to present with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Restorative justice is an approach to criminal justice that considers the goal of the justice system to restore victims to their state pre-victimisation. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of restorative justice in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress that develop following victimisation. Relevant databases were searched to identify quantitative studies measuring post-traumatic symptoms in victims of crime who successfully completed either a restorative justice or customary justice intervention. A total of seven studies were identified examining one or more facet of post-traumatic symptomology. These studies provide modest support that restorative justice did produce a greater improvement on posttraumatic symptoms than customary justice procedures. However, this was only consistently evidenced for symptoms of avoidance and intrusion, whereas there were mixed findings with regard to the subscales of negative alterations in mood and cognition, and arousal and reactivity. Reasons for these inconsistencies are discussed and recommendation made for further empirical work on this subject.

“…Young people may be shy and uncomfortable talking in groups (Gal & Moyal 2011) or not having the confidence, vocabulary, willingness, or language competence to discuss the topic. Young people may be challenged in understanding and displaying appropriate nonverbal communication (Snow & Sanger, 2011).…”

Balancing Justice and Welfare Needs in Family Group Conferences for Children with Harmful Sexual Behavior: The HSB-FGC Framework

In England and Wales, family group conferences (FGCs) are most often found either in the field of youth justice or in the field of child protection, and consequently often have priorities in line with either one of the two systems. On the one hand, FGCs are a restorative justice tool to address offending behavior and hold young perpetrators to account, while giving victims the possibility of contributing to the justice process. On the other hand, FGCs address safeguarding concerns and are used to plan for child safety and protection. In cases where a young person has sexually harmed another young person, that is, has perpetrated harmful sexual behavior (HSB), all young people involved will have both justice and welfare needs. FGCs are emerging as promising mechanisms in such cases, not only because of their ability to deal with both sets of needs for both young people but also because of their potential to address more holistic needs. However, HSB cases are often complex and sensitive, and are not without risk. Drawing on their experiences in research and practice, the authors explore how the holistic needs of both the harmed and harming individual can be balanced within a risk managed HSB-FGC framework.

“…More controversial is the use of RJ with particularly complex crimes and vulnerable populations, for which some scholars call for the development of nuanced and well-prepared practices for cautiously selected cases. Controversy exists, for example, regarding the use of RJ in cases of intimate partner and gendered violence (Coker, 2006;Daly & Stubbs, 2006;Nancarrow, 2010;Stubbs, 2007) and child abuse (Cossins, 2008;Gal, 2011;Julich, 2006), and relating to the involvement of juvenile victims in general (Gal, 2011;Gal & Moyal, 2011).…”

Restorative justice (RJ) has attracted extended research relating to its potential to reduce crime, achieve fairness, and promote victims' well-being, but there is only limited discussion about the involvement of the community in RJ processes. This study employs grounded theory approach to analyze 26 documented files handled by a RJ program in Jerusalem, Israel. It proposes a multilayered construction of community involvement in RJ referring to four modes of community involvement: facilitators, community representatives, social networks, and the direct stakeholders. The analysis uncovers the unique characteristics of each entity, their potential contribution in promoting community interests, and the challenges in fulfilling their potential contribution. The Article further offers a responsive definition for community representation. Practical implications for RJ programs are discussed.
