The aims of the research project are to first consider the existing and emergingÂ
practices of conferencing. The study focuses on conferencing practices which are relatedÂ
to crime and will assess their processes as well as outcomes. Furthermore the studyÂ
compares conferences with the more widespread VOM. In addition the report offers aÂ
detailed and extensive bibliography which lists among other academic publications, oldÂ
and new reports and evaluation and webâ€addresses which may be of use to anybodyÂ
interested in the topic. The study also explicitly focuses on the challenges whenÂ
implementing conferencing in a continental European legal and socioâ€cultural contextÂ
and proposes some new avenues for its further development in a European context.Â
