Overview

Have you ever wondered if mediation in criminal cases can work? How about for a murder case? What does the field of criminal law demand (or require) from a Mediator? The answers can be found in this book, illustrated with real criminal cases mediated by the author.

The author analyses and connects the criminal cases in each chapter to sociological, linguistic and psychological research. Topics such as perception, apology, forgiveness, deceptive behaviour, culture and trauma are discussed.
