Victim offender dialogues have been developed as a way to hold offenders accountable to the person they have harmed and to give victims a voice about how to put things right. It is a way of acknowledging the importance of the relationship, of the connection which crime creates. Granted, the relationship is a negative one, but there is a relationship. Amstutz has been a practitioner and a teacher in the field for more than 20 years. This excellent audio resource draws on her experience and contributes indispensably to the Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.

This audio edition includes a bonus conversation between Lorraine Stutzman Amstutz and fellow victim-offender conferencing practitioner Michelle Armster, executive director at Mennonite central committee, central states region, which addresses developments in the practice in the years since the book was first published. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
