1. The Effectiveness of Restorative Justice Practices: A Meta-Analysis

   Jeff Latimer, Craig Dowden, Danielle Muise · 2005 · The Prison Journal · 688 cites

   This article provides an empirical synthesis of the existing literature on the effectiveness of restorative justice practices using meta-analytic techniques. The data were aggregated from studies that compared restorative justice programs to traditional nonrestorative approaches to criminal behavior. Victim and offender satisfaction, restitution compliance, and recidivism were selected as appropriate outcomes to adequately measure effectiveness. Although restorative programs were found to be significantly more effective, these positive findings are tempered by an important self-selection bias inherent in restorative justice research. A possible method of addressing this problem, as well as d

2. Restorative justice: the evidence

   Lawrence W. Sherman, Heather Strang, Geoffrey C. Barnes, et al. · 2007 · ANU Open Research (Australian National University) · 505 cites

   A review of research on restorative justice (RJ) in the UK and \nabroad shows that across 36 direct comparisons to conventional \ncriminal justice (CJ), RJ has, in at least two tests each: \n• substantially reduced repeat offending for some offenders, \nbut not all; \n• doubled (or more) the offences brought to justice as diversion \nfrom CJ; \n• reduced crime victims’ post-traumatic stress symptoms and \nrelated costs; \n• provided both victims and offenders with more satisfaction \nwith justice than CJ; \n• reduced crime victims’ desire for violent revenge against their \noffenders; \n• reduced the costs of criminal justice, when used as diversion \nfrom CJ; \n• reduced recidivism more tha

3. Reintegrative Shaming, Procedural Justice, and Recidivism: The Engagement of Offenders' Psychological Mechanisms in the Canberra RISE Drinking-and-Driving Experiment

   Tom R. Tyler, Lawrence W. Sherman, Heather Strang, et al. · 2007 · Law & Society Review · 251 cites

   Advocates of restorative justice (RJ) hypothesize that the diversion of criminal cases to RJ conferences should be more effective in lowering the rate of reoffending than traditional prosecution in court processing because the conferences more effectively engage the psychological mechanisms of reintegrative shaming and procedural justice. This study uses longitudinal data from the drinking-and-driving study in the Australian Reintegrative Shaming Experiments (RISE) to evaluate the long-term impact of reintegrative shaming and procedural justice on support for the law and on later recidivism as assessed through the use of police records and by self-report. Analysis first suggests that there i

4. Restorative Justice Conferencing (RJC) Using Face-to-Face Meetings of Offenders and Victims: Effects on Offender Recidivism and Victim Satisfaction. A Systematic Review

   Heather Strang, Lawrence W. Sherman, Evan Mayo‐Wilson, et al. · 2013 · Campbell Systematic Reviews · 248 cites

   This Campbell systematic review examines the effectiveness of face-to-face restorative justice conferences (‘RJCs’) on repeat offending and victim satisfaction. The systematic review includes 10 studies. The average effect of the ten studies indicated that face-to-face RJCs resulted in offenders committing significantly less crime than their counterparts randomly assigned to standard criminal justice alone. The effect of RJCs on violent crime is larger than its effects on property crime. For victims, again comparing those whose cases were assigned to RJCs with those assigned to standard criminal justice, those taking part in face-to-face RJCs express higher levels of satisfaction with the ha

5. Are Restorative Justice Conferences Effective in Reducing Repeat Offending? Findings from a Campbell Systematic Review

   Lawrence W. Sherman, Heather Strang, Evan Mayo‐Wilson, et al. · 2014 · Journal of Quantitative Criminology · 231 cites

   This paper synthesizes the effects on repeat offending reported in ten eligible randomized trials of face-to-face restorative justice conferences (RJCs) between crime victims, their accused or convicted offenders, and their respective kin and communities. After an exhaustive search strategy that examined 519 studies that could have been eligible for our rigorous inclusion criteria, we found ten that did. Included studies measured recidivism by 2 years of convictions after random assignment of 1,880 accused or convicted offenders who had consented to meet their consenting victims prior to random assignment, based on “intention-to-treat” analysis. Our meta-analysis found that, on average, RJCs

7. Restorative Justice at Work: Examining the Impact of Restorative Justice Resolutions on Juvenile Recidivism

   Nancy Rodriguez · 2007 · Crime & Delinquency · 105 cites

   Programs with restorative justice ideals attempt to incorporate victims and community members into the administration of justice. Although these programs have become increasingly popular, only a few programs in the United States have been the focus of prior studies. Using official juvenile court data from an urban, metropolitan area, this study finds that juveniles who participated in a restorative justice program were less likely to recidivate than juveniles in a comparison group. Also, gender and prior offenses indirectly influence recidivism in important ways. Girls and offenders with minimal criminal history records exhibit the most success from participating in such programs. Findings d

8. Restorative justice dialogue: The Impact of Mediation and Conferencing on Juvenile Recidivism

   W.J. Bradshaw, David Roseborough · 2005 · UST Research Online (University of St. Thomas - Minnesota) · 99 cites

   In a time of accountability, tight budgets, and the closing of restorative justice programs, restorative justice practitioners and policy makers need to utilize effectiveness data to make decisions about program development and funding. Measuring the effect of restorative justice on recidivism is one clear way of doing so.
