What will be an ideal response?


Victim–offender mediation (VOM) has its roots in the Victim–Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP) started in Canada in the mid-1970s. The purposes of the original VORP project were to provide an alternative method of dealing with crime, to allow the victim and offender to mutually agree on restitution, to use third parties to facilitate reconciliation, and to resolve the conflict caused by crime.
