Summary

Moore, Peni (2007). Lessons learned on the road - teaching restorative justice to marginalised individuals and communities in Fiji. Australasian Dispute Resolution Journal. 18(2):110-.

This article will look at teaching restorative justice to minority communities in order to deal with conflict by allowing the victims to participate fully in the process. (author's abstract).
