Restorative justice has made significant progress in recent years and now plays an increasingly important role in and alongside the criminal justice systems of a number of countries in different parts of the world. In many cases, however, successes and failures, strengths and weaknesses have not been evaluated sufficiently systematically and comprehensively, and it has been difficult to gain an accurate picture of its implementation and the lessons to be drawn from this. Restorative Justice in Practice addresses this need, analyzing the results of the implementation of three restorative justice schemes in England and Wales in the largest and most complete trial of restorative justice with adult offenders worldwide. It aims to bring out the practicalities of setting up and running restorative justice schemes in connection with criminal justice, the costs of doing so and the key professional and ethical issues involved. At the same time the book situates these findings within the growing international academic and policy debates about restorative justice, addressing a number of key issues for criminal justice and penology, including: how far victim expectations of justice are and can be met by restorative justice aligned with criminal justice whether ‘community’ is involved in restorative justice for adult offenders and how this relates to social capital how far restorative justice events relate to processes of desistance (giving up crime), promote reductions in reoffending and link to resettlement what stages of criminal justice may be most suitable for restorative justice and how this relates to victim and offender needs the usefulness of conferencing and mediation as forms of restorative justice with adults. Restorative Justice in Practice will be essential reading for both students and practitioners, and a key contribution to the restorative justice debate.

Making comparisons
The overall findings from our evaluation on reconviction
1. Offenders’ offending decelerated
2. No significant effects on severity of reconviction and on whether or not the offender was reconvicted
3. All JRC groups (conferencing), summed together, showed a significantly lower cost of convictions versus the control groups (mediation did not)
4. Conferencing was value for money – the decrease in the cost of convictions covered the cost of running the scheme
5. Restorative justice does not make people more likely to reoffend
6. There was no difference on reconviction between types of offender or offence
7. But offenders’ experiences of conferencing did affect reoffending
Would we expect participating in restorative justice to affect reoffending?
11 Restorative justice: lessons from practice
Key lessons from evaluating restorative justice
Restorative justice within criminal justice with adult offenders
Presumptions and concerns which proved to be false
1. The belief that victims will only wish to participate for minor offences and with young offenders
2. The concern that ensuring a safe environment for participants will be very difficult
3. The view that there is a particular point at which victims should be offered restorative justice, so offering it at different stages of criminal justice will be difficult
4. The worry that, because some restorative justice theory has been built on reintegration into a ‘community’, and because there is no ‘community’ in Western cities, so restorative justice will not be able to access opportunities, draw in supporters or be reintegrative
Issues that emerged which will be important for future schemes
1. The need to be careful about professional conflicts of interest
2. The need to develop adequate mechanisms for accountability and regulation
3. The importance of a statutory basis and implications for mainstreaming
Conferencing or mediation?
