Restorative Justice Conferencing

A procedural guide to coordinating and facilitating restorative conferences, structured meetings between offenders, victims and both parties’ family and friends, in which they deal with the consequences of the offense and decide how best to repair the harm. The handbook covers the process of selecting cases, inviting participants, making preparations and running the conference itself. It is useful to anyone who wants to learn to facilitate conferences in school, criminal justice and other settings. Originally published in 1999.
