Title:	Restorative justice, domestic violence and family violence
Authors:	Stubbs, Julie
Year:	2004
Publisher:	Australian Domestic & Family Violence Clearinghouse, UNSW
Notes:	There has been considerable growth in the adoption of restorative justice practices in Australia and internationally. This paper describes and evaluates claims made about restorative justice, or victim-offender mediation, including the claimed benefits for victims, offenders and communities; general concerns about restorative justice practices; and an overview of evaluations. Restorative justice is then considered for use with domestic or family violence cases and other gendered harms such as sexual assault, including a review of models currently being used around the world. Indigenous communities and the use of restorative justice and alternative justice practices in cases of family violence are also discussed. The author concludes that while there are risks and challenges in using restorative justice practices with domestic or family violence and gendered harms, an approach which integrates some elements of the restorative justice model with the criminal justice system may be the way forward.
