Contemporary Justice Review, 2011, 14(3): 269-290Summary: The authors examined viewpoints of New Zealand opinion leaders regarding the use of restorative justice in adult cases of gendered violence. The article examined the use of restorative justice for partner, family and sexual violence, and child sexual abuse.
The opinion leaders were drawn from a range of sector areas including those who worked in government, headed major victim service organizations, or provided victim support or restorative justice facilitation. The 19 opinion leaders reflected upon the question of the appropriateness of restorative justice for each of these categories of family violence.
Some of the major findings from the article include the identification of three groups of thinkers, a belief that restorative justice was least suitable for child sexual abuse, and the need for additional protections and conditions if restorative justice were to be used.
