Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines offenders' family members' need to reach out to the victim's family. It provides two examples of relationships formed between an offender's family members and those of the victim. It also provides examples of how restorative justice has been used in death penalty cases. The chapter highlights defense'initiated victim outreach, a pioneering strategy that seeks to engage victims' family members in a restorative response to capital criminal proceedings. It also explores victim—offender mediation. Some of the challenges of providing restorative justice-based initiatives in death penalty cases are presented.
