Restorative justice programs and services in criminal matters: summary of
consultations
Abstract
Restorative justice processes are rapidly being adopted within Canada, as
well as internationally, as a way of responding to crime and victimization.
There is, however, little information quantifying the use of restorative justice
programs and services in criminal matters in Canada. In order to address this
information gap, the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics was asked to undertake
a special study of restorative justice programs and services.
This report summarizes the results of consultations with stakeholders and addresses
survey definitions, scope, methodology and other related issues required prior
to conducting a study on restorative justice programs and services in criminal
matters in Canada. The current report also presents an overview of restorative
justice philosophy and concepts, and it provides recommendations for conducting
a study.
