abstract="Research has generally supported the effectiveness of restorative justice (RJ) programs on a number of outcomes; however, little research has examined the effectiveness of variations in the intervention. This study examined several variations of an RJ program for juvenile offenders, including direct mediation, indirect forms of victim/offender mediation accomplished without direct victim/offender contact, the use of community panels (i.e., with community representatives when no direct victim was available), and a group who received only minimal interaction with RJ staff. <br><br>RESULTS supported the effectiveness of a number of variations in program implementation. Implications for future research and potential improvements to the RJ model are discussed.    Keywords: Juvenile justice;<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
