Message From the Director

This collection of six documents covers a number of important issues related to
restorative justice. Four of the documents focus on victim-offender mediation,
which is a major programmatic intervention that fully embraces the concepts of
restorative justice. The first of these documents is the Guidelines for
Victim-Sensitive Victim-Offender Mediation: Restorative Justice Through
Dialogue, which assists administrators in developing or enhancing their
restorative justice programs. It provides practical guidance for mediators to
facilitate balanced and fair mediation, which will ensure the safety and
integrity of all the participants. The National Survey of Victim-Offender
Mediation Programs in the United States contains information about the
characteristics of the various victim-offender mediation programs operating
nationwide and the major issues facing them in their day-to-day operations.
The Survey describes the actual functioning of the programs, while the
Guidelines sets standards for the practice of victim-offender mediation. Next,
the Directory of Victim-Offender Mediation Programs in the United States lists
all identified victim-offender mediation programs in the country and provides
their addresses, phone numbers, and contact and other basic information. The
purpose of the Directory is to provide easy access for persons who
would like to contact a given program. The Family Group Conferencing:
Implications for Crime Victims document discusses a related form of restorative
justice dialogue that originated in New Zealand and Australia and has been
replicated in some communities in the United States. The Multicultural
Implications of Restorative Justice: Potential Pitfalls and Dangers document
informs practitioners about concerns regarding the implementation of such
frameworks when working with persons of cross-cultural perspectives. The
sixth document, entitled Victim-Offender Mediation and Dialogue in Crimes of
Severe Violence, will be added to the collection late FY 2000. It will provide
case study evidence suggesting that many of the principles of restorative
justice can be applied to crimes of severe violence, including murder. In
addition, this document includes a discussion about the need for advanced
training for persons working with victims of severe violence.

The Office for Victims of Crime does not insist that every victim participate in
victim-offender mediation, family group conferencing, or other restorative
justice intervention. Such participation is a personal decision that each victim
must make for herself or himself. We strongly advocate, however, that all
restorative justice programs be extremely sensitive to the needs and concerns of
the victims who would like to meet with their offenders. No pressure should be
placed on victims to participate, for participation must be strictly voluntary.
Victims should be granted a choice in the location, timing, and structure of the
session and a right to end their participation at any stage in the process. These
protections for victims do not mean that offenders can be treated insensitively.
Both victim and offender must be dealt with respectfully.

We sincerely hope that restorative justice programs already in operation in
probation or parole agencies, judicial agencies, religious groups, victim service
organizations, community-based organizations, or elsewhere study these
documents and embrace the victim-sensitive guidelines that are relevant to
their particular type of intervention. Restorative justice programs can only be
strengthened by operating with heightened awareness of the needs of
crime victims.

Acknowledgments

The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) would like to offer special thanks to
authors Mark S. Umbreit, Ph.D., Director; Robert Schug, B.A.; Jean
Greenwood, M.Div., former Training Coordinator; Claudia Fercello, M.S.W.;
Jenni Umbreit, B.A., of the Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking
(formerly the Center for Restorative Justice & Mediation), School of Social
Work, University of Minnesota.  

We recognize the valuable contribution of the members of the Board of
Directors of the Victim-Offender Mediation Association (VOMA), who played
a critical role in offering thoughts about the survey and providing the VOMA
mailing list, which was the foundation of the national survey and directory of
programs. We thank the many program staff members who took the time to
participate in the Center's phone interviews about victim-offender mediation
policies and practices. Also, we would like to acknowledge the
valuable contribution made by Robert Schug, Administrative Aide at the Center
for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking, who spent many hours preparing
and updating the directory and responding to numerous requests for draft
copies.

This project also benefited greatly from the contributions, guidance, and
support of Susan Laurence, the project manager at OVC. This Restorative
Justice and Mediation Collection is the result of the efforts of many individuals
in the field who generously shared their materials and experience with the
Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking so that victims may be provided
additional options in the process of healing.

Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking

The restorative justice model supports the view that a crime is a harmful act
against individual victims and members of the community--not just the State.
The criminal justice process needs to ensure that offenders repair this harm;
respond to victims compassionately, fairly, and justly; and promote safe
and secure communities.

The Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking (formerly Center for
Restorative Justice & Mediation) at the University of Minnesota School of
Social Work (St. Paul campus) was established to provide technical assistance,
training, and research in the State of Minnesota, nationally, and internationally
to support restorative justice practices and principles.

Through restorative justice, victims, communities, and offenders are placed in
active roles to work together to--

o Empower victims in their search for closure.
o Impress upon offenders the real human impact of their behavior.
o Promote restitution to victims and communities.

Dialogue and negotiation are central to restorative justice, and problem solving
for the future is seen as more important than simply establishing blame for
past behavior.

Balance is sought among the legitimate needs of the victim, the community, and
the offender to enhance community protection and direct accountability of the
offender to the victim and the victimized community.

The Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking offers the following services
and training opportunities:

o National Restorative Justice Training Institute at the University of Minnesota,
St. Paul campus, through the School of Social Work, College of Human
Ecology, and University College/Continuing Education.
o Regional workshops and training seminars throughout Minnesota and in other 
locations.
o Promotion, support, and technical assistance for systemic change in the
juvenile justice system that embraces restorative justice policies and programs
in correctional systems.
o Pilot sites in Florida, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania through the Balanced and
Restorative Justice Project, a joint project with Florida Atlantic University,
supported by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, U.S.
Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.
o Introductory victim-offender mediation training and program development
assistance (3-day sessions).
o Advanced mediation training in crimes of severe violence, including homicide
(4-day sessions).
o Graduate coursework on mediation and conflict resolution in communities,
schools, families, and workplaces and within the justice system.
o Mediation services in cases of homicide and other offenses involving severe
violence.
o Cross-national studies of restorative justice and mediation in Canada,
England, and the United States.
o Resource center of video and print materials relating to restorative justice and 
mediation.

Victim-Offender Mediation Program Survey

NOTE: Victim-offender mediation (VOM) programs are not listed for
Arkansas, Guam, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, Rhode
Island, the Virgin Islands, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Programs in this Directory are alphabetized first by State, then by city, and
finally by program name. If no programs are listed for a particular city or State,
it means that we have no record of a victim-offender mediation program in that
city or State; it does not mean that such a program does not exist.

If you know of a program that should be listed in this Directory, please ask that
program to fill out the Victim-Offender Mediation Program Survey found at the
