“…Such opportunities for victims to impact parole release decisions could have created a situation in New Jersey in which the leverage of power to decide inmate releases was shifted from parole board members to victims (Malsch & Carrière, 1999), but victim input laws apparently did not have this effect.…”

“…Victimological studies have demonstrated that procedural justice matters to victims of crime (Malsch and Carrière, 1999;Orth, 2002;Wemmers, 1996;Wemmers, 2010). Wemmers and Cyr (2006) found that victims primarily want to be heard and considered.…”

Evaluative studies have demonstrated that victims of crime are satisfied with their participation in a restorative intervention. Meanwhile, the explanation of victim satisfaction with restorative practices remains to be established. In this article, we study factors contributing to victim satisfaction with the restorative approach and ask to what extent victim satisfaction is simply due to procedural justice. Procedural justice theory predicts that the perceived fairness of a conflict resolution procedure is not only explained by the favourability of its outcome, but also by the appreciation of procedural factors, such as trust, neutrality, respect and voice, and that procedures can be assessed irrespective of their outcome. We conducted semi-directive interviews with 34 victims of violent crime who participated in victimÀoffender mediation, family group conferencing or victimÀoffender encounters in Canada and Belgium. We found that appreciation of a restorative approach is related to it being perceived as procedurally just. However, it is also related to other factors, namely the restorative approach being flexible, providing care, centring on dialogue and permitting pro-social motives to be addressed. These factors are not accounted for by the procedural justice model. Therefore, procedural justice partially but not entirely explains victim satisfaction with restorative practices.

“…Victims expect from the system not only an outcome (a sentence and compensation for damages), but also the substance of the process itself (respect, information, participation). 9 More precisely, Strang 10 has identified the following fundamental needs expressed by victims regarding criminal proceedings:…”

Despite the growing attention being paid to “victims” in the framework of criminal proceedings, this attention does not seem to be meeting their needs under either national criminal justice systems or the international regime. In the latter, the difficulties encountered by the victims are aggravated by factors specifically arising from the prosecution and punishment of mass crimes at international level. This has prompted the authors to point out that the prime purpose of criminal law is to convict or acquit the accused, and to suggest that the task of attending to the victims should perhaps be left to other entities.
