  • Restorative Justice with Adult Offenders in New Zealand

New Zealand was in the vanguard in implementing restorative justice (RJ) for youth offenders. Over the past several years, considerable progress has been made in implementing restorative justice processes for adult offenders as well. RJ is now offered as an option in almost
every court.

In New Zealand, delivery of RJ involves cooperation between both governmental and nongovernmental entities. This article, by Joshua Wachtel, traces the latest RJ developments, through interviews with criminal justice professionals from the courts, other government agencies and community social­service groups.
