Notes

  1. 1.

    This “juvenile court” (shaonian fating, 少年法庭) was not equivalent to the juvenile courts (shaonian fayuan, 少年法院) as we understand them from Western experiences. For more details about the development of juvenile courts in the USA, please refer to Tanenhaus (2012).

  2. 2.

    As mentioned earlier, the mediator did not allow the researcher to contact parties outside the mediation session.

  3. 3.

    See the appendix.

  4. 4.

    All the participants in this study have been anonymized.
