註釋This report reviews the range of models implemented in Britain, bringing into focus not only the considerable failings, but also the elements of practice which need to be harnessed if victim-offender mediation (VOM) is to expand : -- explicit objectives; -- flexibility; -- use of victim-offender specialists. Chapter One examines aspects of the victim-offender relationship which have been neglected in favour of an emphasis on that between the offender and the state and, more recently, victim and state. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which VOM fits into notions of justice, and looks at reparation as an emergent principle in sentencing. Chapter Three traces the history of VOM from the early schemes in Canada and the U.S. to its current use in Britain. Chapter Four offers a critical examination of the models. Chapter Five identifies ways in which positive features identified in this analysis might be used in future.
