[This text reports on seven trials beginning in 2001, conducted by Cambridge University and funded by the U.K. Home Office, comparing approximately 400 adult cases in which offenders attended restorative justice conferences to approximately 400 adult cases in which they did not. The trials were designed and conducted by Dr. Lawrence Sherman of Cambridge University and Dr. Heather Strang of the Centre for Restorative Justice at the Australian National University. Restorative justice conferences were found to decrease reoffending by an average of 27 percent. Victims participating in the conferences found the experience helpful and positive. In addition, the report found conferences to be much more cost-effective than conventional justice processes.]-
