Objective: A study was conducted to determine the extent to which four investigations of the effect of participation in victim-offender mediation (VOM) on reoffense were successful replications. Method: The data from these four studies were combined and statistical analyses performed to determine if differences between studies were attributable to sampling variability. If the differences between studies were statistically nonsignificant, the results would be consistent with the four studies being successful replications of each other. Results: The results were consistent with the four studies representing a successful replication series. Analyses of the combined samples of 1,298 juveniles indicated that VOM participants reoffended at a rate 32% lower than nonparticipants. Conclusion: The difference in reoffense rates was more than three times larger than the average effect associated with interventions for delinquency found in a recent meta-analysis. These results suggested that VOM participation was associated with significant reductions in delinquent behavior.
... Most interviewees argued that digital VOM is less capable of displaying the whole person (e.g., nervous hands, gesture) or providing contextual information (e.g., the whole time span from the starting point of VOM, when the other party enters the room) that are taken into account to process a message in the correct manner. Thus, several interviewees were doubting if CBC in VOM would still serve a symbolic meaning compared to face-to-face VOM: Many VOM applicants have a desire to find a way that is acceptable to cope with the aftermaths of the crime; often, symbolic gestures accompany this need (e.g., shaking hands at the end) when making reparations, such as offering an apology (Nugent et al., 2001;Shnabel & Nadler, 2015;Umbreit et al., 2005).This study also identifies the mediator's perceived lack of control as another issue that warrants further attention. First, mediators fear they would be less able to intervene if a person becomes emotional or distressed online. ...
