Yvette Tinsley and Elisabeth McDonald outline concerns in their article,
entitled Is There Another Way? Possible Alternatives to the Current Criminal
Justice Process,1 regarding the use of restorative justice with cases of sexual
violence. We do not disagree with these concerns. In this commentary
we will demonstrate that traditional concerns about the use of restorative
justice in sexual violence cases have been addressed by Project Restore. To
so do we will outline the history of Project Restore and its development
as a community group. We will describe the interventions that have been
developed, by discussing typical scenarios and will conclude by highlighting
the necessity for specialised restorative justice practice in cases of sexual
violence. (excerpt)
