520			_aChapters 5 and 12 of this book include discussions on restorative justice measures in relation to family violence in New Zealand. Allison Morris, the author of chapter 5, "Children and Family Violence: Restorative Messages from New Zealand", explores family violence and restorative measures for children and youth. The author argues that the conventional criminal justice system is not necessarily the ideal model for dealing with family violence. Family Group Conferencing as a restorative justice model is described and case examples utilised. The author argues that restorative practices have the potential for resolving family violence issues. Concerns about restorative justice measures, power imbalances, putting children at risk, the trivialising of abuse in the family, and perpetuation of negative attitudes are also explored. Ruth Busch, the author of chapter 12, "Domestic Violence and Restorative Justice Initiatives: Who Pays if We Get it Wrong", critically evaluates the historic debate surrounding the restorative justice practice of family mediation in cases of domestic violence. This chapter draws on international and New Zealand literature. The inadequacies of, and recent ameliorations to the Court system are explored. The ideas surrounding, and the issues of victim-offender mediation in cases of domestic violence, are discussed. The author cautions that there are gains from this model of practice, but that these gains should not overshadow the value of the court system because not all family violence issues can be resolved through mediation. The limitations of youth justice Family Group Conferences (FGC) and the limitations of FGCs in domestic violence offences are explored. The case of Craig Manukau is discussed as a cautionary note on FGCs. The chapter then discusses the adaptation of New Zealand's FGC process in Australia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and community group conferencing and domestic violence. The author concludes that a culture of safety is needed in cases of domestic violence.
