Auteur(s): R.A.M. van Schijndel ISBN: 9789046602799 Victim-offender mediation is increasingly used around the world as a way of dealing with crime. The growing attention for victim-offender mediation and the benefits it has to offer instigated the call for principles and rules governing the practice of penal mediation. This has led to the development of international protocols that promote and facilitate the institutionalisation and use of victim-offender mediation. One of the key elements of these protocols is the principle of confidentiality, which requires the secrecy of everything that is said and done during a mediation session. This broad interpretation of this principle may, however, cause problems in practice, especially since penal mediation can take place within the context of criminal and civil law. This book reports on a research project which studied the appropriate level of confidentiality that should apply to mediation-delivered information, regarding the out-of-court setting and the judicial context. Various exceptions to the high level of confidentiality that should apply to the issues discussed in mediation are developed. Additionally, it is explained how the thus advocated scope of the principle of confidentiality should be implemented in practice.
