• In Event: Interpersonal Relationships, Emotion and Conflict Management Strategies

Abstract

This meta-analysis examines whether participants of victim-offender mediation programs experience more positive outcomes then those who do not participate in these types of programs. Results show that participants in victim-offender mediation programs experience more positive outcomes then those individuals who do not participate in victim-offender mediation programs. Descriptive outcomes of victim-offender mediation are reported to provide baseline data for current and future victim-offender mediation programs.
