ABSTRACT
Evaluations of restorative justice have, naturally enough, tended to concentrate upon its effects and whether they match the aims of the schemes. For practitioners envisaging setting up new schemes or expanding existing ones, however, it is also important to know how the schemes were set up, what difficulties they faced and how they overcame them. The purpose of this chapter is to focus on the running of the three schemes we evaluated, to describe their experiences and to set out the challenges faced by their managers.
