Notes:	This article reports on a study interviewing 27 judges in Canada about their attitudes and experiences with the use of restorative justice in intimate-partner violence (IPV) cases in 1998 prior to significant legislative changes. The authors particularly focus on the specific application of restorative justice in IPV cases to Aboriginal and First Nations peoples. The background examines the applicability of restorative justice to gendered violence and empirical research evidence base. The findings summarise judges' views about the benefits, important considerations in the use of sentencing circles and restorative justice practices, and criticisms.
