This is a report prepared for the Victim Offender Conferencing Project (VOC) , August 2004. The report reviews the cases dealt with during the 2002/03 year, compares them with cases mediated in the previous two years, and reviews whether these cases did indeed fulfill the expectations of testing VOC with more serious cases and domestic violence.
