Conversation-analytical impact research in victim-offender-mediation
Victim-Offender Mediation (VOM) as an alternative to the traditional punitive justice, is a victim-centred restorative justice procedure. It pursues ambitious goals for the healing process of a conflict between the offender and the victim. Despite the effectiveness and the chances that research results have shown so far, they do not explain how an agreement between the parties is actually reached interactively. To address this desideratum, a conversation analysis of VOM mediation conversations is used to reconstruct this process. The comparative case analysis also includes the reconstruction of the interactively produced social order and the examination of factors that influence the reparation process, such as the relationship between the conflict parties. In the retrospective, narrative interviews will be conducted with the participants in the VOM in order to understand the consequences of this social service from the reality narratives of the addressees. Finally, the interviews are related to the findings of the conversation analysis.
