Summary

Gilman, Eric (2004). Victim Offender Meetings: A Restorative Focus for Victims Restorative Justice Online. December 2004 Edition.

In this article, Eric Gilman, restorative justice coordinator for Clark County Juvenile Court, suggests that programmes should respond to victims restoratively, viewing them as people who have needs growing out of the harms they experienced in the crime, rather than simply as possible participants in a VOM process.
