Abstract:
This bibliography on „Offenders and Victims“ is alphabetically organized. It is based on a working bibliography as used internally by the so-called Research Group on Victim-Offender-Reconciliation. In the long run the group aims at a comprehensive documentation of all publications on the general topic produced in the German language. Publications by publishing houses, government publications, and documents of the type “Grey Literature” are fully treated alike. For the time being, some sub-fields are not covered yet in a suitable manner. As foreign language publications are concerned the group opted, from the beginning, for a more selective approach. Those titles which seem to be of pivot significance for the German scholarly and policy discussion (and law reform) shall be chosen in an exemplary way, in particular regarding issues of Restorative Justice. Under the main umbrella heading the following sub-categories are primarily collected : Victim-Offender-Reconciliation, Out-of-Court Settlement of Conflicts, Mediation, Restitution, and Compensation. Apart from those categories, other issues like Victim Aid, Victim Protection, and Victim Compensation are being taken into consideration.
