Short description:
In this chapter, the authors introduce and apply a new method to assess and compare conferences with other justice mechanisms, from a victim’s perspective: a systematic empirical assessment of multiple cases of sexual victimisation. The method begins with the construct of ‘victims’ justice interests’ and a definition of its five elements: participation, voice, validation, vindication, and offender accountability-taking responsibility. Then, each element is operationalised with a set of variables that are applied to the data. In this analysis, the data are interviews of victims and coordinators (for conferences) and transcripts of sentencing remarks (for court) for cases of sibling sexual abuse, together with police reports and criminal histories for all cases.
