This extensive study is written primarily by practitioners. It is aimed at practitioners and others interested in family group conferencing within a restorative justice framework. It includes information from a number of actual programs in Britain and the United States about their current practice of group conferencing. For each program there are a chart of project characteristics; a questionnaire outlining its process in terms of planning, implementation, and evaluation; and case studies. Additionally, the editors have defined some common issues and presented an overview of the programs cited.
