Innovative justice responses to sexual offending

In May 2014, the Centre for Innovative Justice, a department within RMIT University in Australia, published a major report which recommends the use of restorative justice in cases of sexual offending.

The report, Innovative justice responses to sexual offending, recommends that "with comprehensive safeguards and a co-ordinated, properly resourced system, sexual offence restorative justice conferencing has the potential to meet more of the justice needs of those victims who are being failed by the existing system."
