This comparative report consists of an introductory chapter (chapter 1) in which the authors explain the definitions and the aims of the project. They also describe what the international and European legal instruments (conventions, guidelines and recommendations) say about the use of RJ in IPV cases. In the last paragraph they give insight into the more theoretical discussion about opportunities and risks of RJ in cases of IPV, including pro and contra arguments and – if appropriate – requirements. Chapter 2 gives a comparative overview of the situation in the six partner countries. Chapter 3 presents some first conclusions and discussion points.
