From the Paper:

"Conferencing stands as one particular approach to restorative justice, one that involves several different interested parties in a meeting in which the offense is examined and ways of redressing the injury are raised and discussed before a decision is made. Conferencing has particular application for juvenile offenders and brings them together with their victims and their own families and often with other members of the community. The goal is to examine the issues involved in a particular case and to determine how to achieve restoration and what to impose as punishment. Restorative conferencing is representative of the restorative justice paradigm, giving the offender the opportunity to make up for the offense, the victim to express his or her anger and to show the damage done, and the community to see that the process if working and that the decision is just."
