Abstract

The Norwegian community mediation centers have reached an important stage in their development as a youth measure, and now stand at a crossroads. After having functioned for 10 years as an experiment, a separate law regarding mediation in community mediation centers will be passed by the Norwegian Parliament in 1991. It is, among other suggestions, proposed that all municipalities (totalling 450 in Norway), either individually or in cooperation with other municipalities, shall establish so-called conflict councils. But even when community mediation get its own law, there is no guarantee that this will lead them on the right track. There are strong possibilities that community mediation centers in the long run will develop characteristics that make them more and more like the institution that they were supposed to be an alternative to.
