Abstract
- In this article the author presents research on what's happening between some parties in facilitations in Norway. The author tries to convey some impressions from these facilitations and draws some pictures from the Norwegian scheme. The reasons behind the establishment of facilitation as an independent and alternative reaction are of a pragmatic as well as of an ideological nature. In the seventies, the authorities in Norway discussed whether the age of criminal responsibility should be raised to 15. The ideological foundation stemmed from a lack of effective solutions in interpersonal conflicts within the regular judicial system. The goal of the Norwegian facilitation model is to put the parties under the spotlight, making an arena for responsibility, dialogue and reparation.
