Victim-offender mediation gives the parties involved the opportunity to settle the conflicts associated
with offences (i. e. those that lead to the offence or that arise as a result of the offence or its
consequences) in a manner that is satisfactory to all parties. Thus, as a conflict-settlement measure,
victim-offender mediation is mainly about brining the victim and offender together to discuss things
in person, sometimes repeatedly, usually with the support of a conflict mediator. (excerpt)
