Summary
A study of victim participation in family group conferences in New Zealand's youth justice system, conducted at two sites for Oranga Tamariki. It explains the origins of these conferences in the 1989 Act and their types under section 247, and focuses on those referred by the police before charge and by the court. Based on fieldwork in Tauranga and Porirua—interviews with 16 victims who took part, surveys of 30 who did not, and interviews with 12 key stakeholders—it analyzes why victims agree or decline to participate, what support they receive before and after the conference, and which strategies increase their participation. Useful for those who organize conferences with adolescents.
