We need to create new ways for abused women to find justice. Despite significant accomplishments by the feminist antiviolence movement over the past 35 years, community activists know well that justice is out of reach for most victims. Seeking ways to expand options for women and increase accountability for violent men, the contributors to this book have examined both the dangers and potential benefits of using restorative justice to address crimes against women. Feminism and restorative justice are both strong, global social movements that see violence against women as a problem; each movement, however, has a unique view on how this problem can be best resolved. The informal mediation practices referred to as ‘‘restorative justice’’ (RJ) seek to decrease the role of the state in responding to crime and increase the involvement of personal, familial, and community networks in repairing the harm caused by crime. In the many parts of the world where it is practiced, RJ is most commonly applied to youth crimes. However, in many areas, RJ is prohibited from being used for crimes against women. Nevertheless, there is increasing use of these practices to address intimate violence, rape, and child sexual abuse. This has created deep concerns among feminist antiviolence activists, especially because very little research supports using RJ in these cases. Conflicts have occurred between the feminist and RJ movements over this topic in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and many other countries.
