European Day for Victims of Crime

On the occasion of the European Day of Victims of Crime (22 February 2019), the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) published the summary of the research report “Victims and Restorative Justice: An empirical study of the needs, experiences and position of victims within restorative justice practices”. Our previous intern, Annika Schuurman from Amsterdam university, worked on it as part of her 4 months internship in the EFRJ Secretariat. 

In recognition of this day, the European Forum for Restorative Justice launched a short report based on a survey conducted in 2017, as part of many other activities initiated in the past years to further implement the European Victims’ Directive.

The focus of the survey was to map the breakthroughs, the opportunities, the challenges, and the future directions, ideas and suggestions of the regulation of RJ in the Victims’ Directive, according to the RJ services and practitioners.
