The Australian Institute of Criminology has released new research examining the perspectives of victim-survivors on best practice in restorative justice for family, domestic and sexual violence (FDSV).
- The research draws on surveys and in-depth interviews with 13 victim-survivors who participated in restorative justice for an FDSV matter.
- Victim-survivors identified Convenors' skills and expertise, flexible and victim-centred processes, intensive and risk-informed preparation, and close ongoing collaboration with external professional supports as critical to the success of restorative justice in this context.
- These best practices are consistent with those identified by practitioners and other stakeholders, and further emphasise the critical role of Convenors in restorative justice for FDSV, as well as the need for tailored approaches and specialist support.
