This chapter begins with some data on the prevalence and scope of childhood victimization, revealing the gap between its occurrence and the lack of adequate redress for child victims by Western adversarial criminal justice systems. It then presents restorative justice as an alternative response to crimes against children and its potential in addressing the human rights and needs of victimized children. The chapter concludes by presenting the objectives and outline of the book.
