Victim-offender mediation in the ViP (Täter-Opfer-Ausgleich im ViP)
Every act of violence has causes and backgrounds. Learning more about them does not excuse the crime. However, discussions between victims and the accused can help to process experiences, settle existing conflicts and prevent repeat offenses. This requires impartial third parties. In victim-offender mediation at ViP (Verein sozial-integrativer Projekte e.V.), mediators are committed to conflict resolution and reparation outside the courtroom.
