520			_aThe use of restorative justice in situations of family violence has long been a controversial issue, with vigorous debate over its appropriateness and effectiveness. In New Zealand this debate is no longer hypothetical. The decision of the Ministry of Justice in 2013 to bring family violence within the orbit of restorative justice, together with changes to the Sentencing Act in 2014 which make a restorative justice assessment mandatory for the great majority of cases coming before the District Court, irrespective of the type of offending involved, mean that examination of the proper place of restorative interventions in this area is more relevant and urgent than ever. To promote dialogue on the matter, the Diana Unwin Chair in Restorative Justice at Victoria University, with funding assistance from the New Zealand Law Foundation, organised this conference, followed by an all-day workshop for practitioners. The aim of these events was to consider critically the strengths and weaknesses of prevailing adversarial approaches to family violence and of restorative justice alternatives – and the potential for combining the benefits of both to achieve better outcomes for victims.

Restorative Justice Panel: Maxine Rennie, Judge Chris McGuire, Dr. Anne Hayden, Julia Hennessy, Kerry Dougall, Jon Everest, Helen Ridley. Record #4781
