| description | Research indicates that, in comparison to traditional court processing,
restorative justice enhances victim satisfaction. This is in part due to the
opportunities for dialogue within the restorative approach that enables
offender accountability and victim reparation. Yet, some crimes that occur
may not involve a direct victim, which would have implications for whether
victims are present and levels of restoration and reparation within
restorative justice. Using data from the Australian Reintegrative Shaming
Experiments (RISE), we examine how crime type affects restorative justice
outcomes. We find that conferences involving victimless crimes enhance
offender accountability and community reparation in comparison to other
crimes. |
