The only previous survey of British reparation and mediation projects was conducted by the National Association of Victims Support Schemes in 1982. The subsequent growth of interest in victim/offender conciliation culminated earlier this year in the Home Secretary’s announcement that his department was considering funding a few such schemes as a temporary experiment. A report presents results of a survey conducted in 1984. A general discussion of the types of programs is followed by more detailed descriptions of many of the projects: including names and addresses of contacts at each site: as well as a bibliography.
