handle is hein.journals/ijrestore1 and id is 258 raw text is: ARTICLE Measuring the restorativeness of restorative justice: the case of the Mosaica Jerusalem Programme Tali Gal, Hadar Dancig-Rosenberg and Guy Enosh* Abstract This study uses a Jerusalem-based restorative justice programme as a case study to characterise community restorative justice (CRJ) conferences. On the basis of the Criminal Law Taxonomy, an analytical instrument that includes seventeen meas- urable characteristics, it examines the procedural elements of the conferences, their content, goals and the role of participants. The analysis uncovers an unprecedented multiplicity of conference characteristics, including the level of flexibility, the exis- tence of victim-offender dialogue, the involvement of the community and a focus on rehabilitative, future-oriented outcomes. The findings offer new insights regarding the theory and practice of CRJand the gaps between the two. Keywords: Restorative justice, criminal justice, criminal law taxonomy, victims, offenders. 1.

Jacob's wife, Sara, tried to resolve the conflict but failed. * Tali Gal is Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer, School of Criminology, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel.
