Offenses involved included property, assault, and vandalism. Program workers approached both victim and offender regarding participation; both were given no-cost legal counsel during the program, as negotiations were conducted by both parties' lawyers. Once a civil agreement was signed, the office of the public prosecutor dismissed the case. Negotiations were commenced in 90 cases, resulting in 58 settlements involving 64 offenders and 58 victims; a 36-percent success rate. Settlements ranged from financial compensation to agreement on no further action by both parties involved, and the average settlement time was 58 days. If there was no settlement, the case was returned to the criminal justice system. At project end, interviews were conducted with offenders, victims, and lawyers; all gave the project a positive rating. 15 references, 21 tables, and 2 appendixes
