This document draws upon a previous
article by Mark Umbreit and Howard Zehr (1996), and the guidelines
in the conclusion are based upon a consensus that emerged
from a group of individuals who participated in the Family
Group Conference training provided by the REAL JUSTICE organization
in Pennsylvania in 1995.
This document was prepared by
the Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking (formerly
the Center for Restorative Justice & Mediation) under

Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S.
Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, and conclusions
or recommendations expressed in this document are those of
