¿Es posible que las personas enfrentadas por conductas delictivas puedan encontrarse y dialogar?, ¿con qué finalidad?, ¿quedan en entredicho las funciones preventivas del sistema penal?, ¿con qué herramientas trabaja la persona mediadora? Estas son las cuestiones, entre otras muchas, que aborda este libro. Algunas víctimas se acercan a los procesos restaurativos en la búsqueda de datos que completen la verdad del delito sufrido, también en la búsqueda de un reconocimiento. Quedan preguntas sin contestar a cuestiones humanamente esenciales, porque los hechos probados de la sentencia no los aporta, al no ser significativos para la aplicación de la ley. Sin verdad, no hay paz; sin co...
En esta obra se aborda el estudio de la mediación en su dimensión jurídica, es decir, considerando que su ámbito son los conflictos de índole jurídica, que su fundamento o razón de ser es la voluntad de las partes y que está destinada a producir efectos jurídicos. Más allá de que pueda ser útil para la descongestión de la carga de trabajo de los tribunales, la mediación es analizada aquí como una vía más que puede ser utilizada por los ciudadanos y sus abogados para la mejor satisfacción de los intereses de los primeros. Además de los conceptos generales de la mediación, se describe el desarrollo de la misma, exponiendo las dificultades que se suscitan en la práctica y s...
With their rich traditions of conflict resolution and peacemaking, the Pacific Islands provide a fertile environment for developing new approaches to crime and conflict. Interactions between formal justice systems and informal methods of dispute resolution contain useful insights for policy makers and others interested in socially attuned resolutions to the problems of order that are found increasingly in the Pacific Islands as elsewhere. Contributors to this volume include Pacific Islanders from Vanuatu, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea including Bougainville, as well as outsiders with a longstanding interest in the region. They come from a variety of backgrounds and include criminal justice practitioners, scholars, traditional leaders and community activists. The chapters deal with conflict in a variety of contexts, from interpersonal disputes within communities to large-scale conflicts between communities. This is a book not only of stories but also of practical models that combine different traditions in creative ways and that offer the prospect of building more sustainable resolutions to crime and conflict.

This report examines the potential of restorative justice programmes to facilitate conflict resolution and provide appropriate protection to children. This applies to the justice system, whether children are victims, offenders or witnesses, but it also applies in a range of other contexts, including at school, in residential care units, in social welfare settings and in the community.
This new book aims to explore the key issues and debates surrounding the question of the incorporation and institutionalisation of restorative justice within existing penal and criminal justice systems, an increasingly pressing issue given the rapid spread of restorative justice worldwide at both national and international levels. In doing so it aims to build bridges between those concerned with the practical institutionalisation of restorative justice on the one hand, and those engaged in more theoretical aspects of penal development and analysis on the other. It offers conceptual tools and a theoretical framework to help make sense of these developments, reflecting expertise drawn from analysis of developments in Europe, North America and Australasia.
The present handbook offers, in a quick reference format, an overview of key considerations in the implementation of participatory responses to crime based on a restorative justice approach. Its focus is on a range of measures and programmes, inspired by restorative justice values, that are flexible in their adaptation to criminal justice systems and that complement them while taking into account varying legal, social and cultural circumstances. It was prepared for the use of criminal justice officials, non-governmental organizations and community groups who are working together to improve current responses to crime and conflict in their community
