Conclusions
Since its creation in 1998, the Mediation Centre has treated several hundred of cases in the field of VOM with juveniles. By its work, it has contributed to the promotion of the first restorative justice practices in Luxembourg. Today, VOM is an established process in the juvenile justice system, even if it operates without a legal framework. Based on the past experiences, VOM with juveniles should be formally introduced in the juvenile justice system, in order to perpetuate the practices and to avoid inequalities between the persons concerned. The implementation of such legislation should respect the principles of restorative justice and commonly accepted standards. The potential to do so is there, it just has to be done.
