Some success has been achieved in reducing offending behaviour. More significantly, recent international research has shown that restorative justice can be used to deal with other forms of harmful behaviour including bullying, workplace conflict and other forms of conflict.Studies have shown that participants in such interventions report much higher levels of satisfaction than cases when more formal processes are used. Restorative processes acknowledge that harm is caused to people and relationships rather than to any abstract rule or legislation and attempt to repair some of the harm by enabling the parties involved to identify what there needs are and then trying to assist them in meeting those needs.
