Short description:

Conflicts are seen as important elements in society. Highly industrialised societies do not have too much internal conflict, they have too little. The authors have to organise social systems so that conflicts are both nurtured and made visible and also see to it that professionals do not monopolise the handling of them. Victims of crime have in particular lost their rights to participate. A court procedure that restores the participants' rights to their own conflicts is outlined.
