ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book is the result of a common effort, so first of all we wish to acknowledge all the contributors who participated in writing the chapters included in this volume. Without their commitment, this book would not have been possible. The chapters were originally presented as national reports to the final seminar of the research project Victim-offender mediation: organization and practice in the juvenile justice systems, co-funded by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and the European Commission through the Grotius II Criminal Programme 2002-04 (JAI/2002/GRP/029). The project was coordinated by the Research Institute on Judicial Systems of the CNR (IRSIG-CNR, Bologna, Italy) and was conducted in partnership with the Research Group on Juvenile Criminology (OGJC) of the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium) and the Institut ffĦr Rechts und Kriminalsoziologie (IRKS, Vienna, Austria). We acknowledge our colleagues from these institutions, Christa Pelikan and Inge Vanfraechem, for their collaboration in leading the project. Funding support for the publication of this book was generously provided by the IRSIG-CNR. We wish to thank its founding director, Prof. Giuseppe Di Federico, not only for the financial support to this enterprise but also for encouraging our work. Finally, we express our gratitude to Domenico Piscitelli (Centre for Judicial Studies, CESROG, University of Bologna) for his competent technical support in preparing this book.
