Restorative Justice in Criminal Offending: Models, Approaches and Evaluation

handle is hein.journals/ijtherju3 and id is 19 raw text is: RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN CRIMINAL OFFENDING: MODELS, APPROACHES AND EVALUATION Elizabeth M. Gresson* Abstract Restorative justice has been practised in a range of coun- tries since the 1990s. The aim is to approach criminal justice in a more socially engaged, problem-solving way. This paper con- siders different models and approaches to restorative justice and canvases factors of definition and perception, ethos and practical application. The discussion considers outcomes of offender-vic- tim mediations and group conferencing in the context of relevant legislative changes in common law jurisdictions of New Zealand and the State of Victoria, Australia. The discussion then asks how such approaches may relate to a Therapeutic Jurisprudence (hereinafter, TJ) model of justice with specific reference to Drug and Alcohol Courts. The aim is to highlight the shift of emphasis in criminal justice from adversarialism and blame to responsibility and reparation, and to provide some understand- ing and evaluation of the effectiveness of such approaches to criminal offending. * Elizabeth M.
