Abstract

AbstractA major government study followed all cases referred to the main victim‐offender mediation projects in England over two years.

Existing agencies tended to take over the new projects, trying to adapt them to their own ends, whereas the greatest potential in such innovations lies in their new aims of reconciliation and a conflict resolution approach to crime policy.
