Popis: | This article reports some findings from a wider study of decision making about neighbourhood disputes by criminal justice personnel and considers the potential for the diversion to community mediation of such cases (Mackay and Moody 1994). The study was carried out in one Scottish city for the Scottish Office. We focus on that part of the study which analyses prosecutors' approaches to neighbourhood disputes and their views about diversion. We describe how prosecutors currently make decisions about neighbourhood disputes, their perceptions of these cases and their assessment of alternative ways in which such cases might be managed by the criminal justice system. |
