| dc.description.notes | This literature review examines whether current research shows restorative justice is a safe and effective criminal justice response to cases of intimate partner violence in Canada. Restorative justice models are described, including: police (pre-charge), crown (post-charge), courts (pre-sentencing or during sentence), corrections (post-sentence), and parole (pre-revocation). Needs of survivors of intimate violence are examined with regard to punishment and accountability, physical protection and safety, advocacy and support, resources, children’s needs, and power of autonomy and decision making. The analysis aims to see if restorative justice delivers, through an overview of the promise, problems and evaluations of alternative measures in British Columbia and Nova Scotia; and of sentencing circles, family group conferences, victim-offender reconciliation programmes (VORPs) and victim-offender mediations (VOMs), and Negotiated Protocols. It then discusses the characteristics of an effective restorative justice model, and poses some research questions. It notes that effective programming needs to address gendered power imbalances in intimate violence, even in the context of cultural communities such as aboriginal communities, and will likely take a feminist, anti-subordination, or woman-centred approach. Research questions include developing a research methodology to better measure ‘success’ in cases of intimate violence, including long-term recidivism and not just the less tangible ‘restorative’ outcomes that characterise the few evaluations that exist in this area. It finds that the Pennell and Burford project, Hollow Water, and the Langley VOM are the only 3 Canadian restorative justice projects that deal with cases of intimate violence which have been subject to first-hand empirical research with survivors, and suggests more empirical research is needed, with particular attention to the needs of survivors. Research is also required on discrete models as the literature shows, rather than the ‘restorative’ principles, it is the processes, funding and administration which make the most significant differences to success. Alternative measures should be a research priority, to explore basic questions such as how many cases of intimate violence are being diverted and how the decision to divert is being made. Sentencing circles are also suggested as a research priority since there is no easily accessible research indicating the frequency of use in intimate violence cases. | en |
