This chapter reviews and integrates the psychological literature on how members of perpetrator and victim groups perceive, evaluate, and respond differently to large-scale intergroup violence, as well as institutional and psychological interventions. Despite considerable interest in the psychological analysis of evil and victims of evil, the field’s understanding of collective violence has not yet arrived at a stage where perspectives of perpetrators and victims are well integrated and considered in tandem. This chapter therefore provides insights into the dynamics between perpetrators and victims of intergroup violence, covering topics such as internal and external attribution, harm perception, intergroup emotions, temporal distance, retributive and restorative justice, and various conflict intervention strategies. Furthermore, the authors discuss how social identity shapes involved parties’ divergent responses to violence. They argue that acknowledging the differences between victim and perpetrator groups’ perspectives is key to developing constructive responses to collective violence.

The relationship between policing and Canada’s First Nations and Métis peoples has historically been strained, and these tensions continue trans-generationally. This social innovation paper explores the possibility of integrating two effective paradigms that might positively enhance the relationship between policing and First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples of Canada. The first is increased multi-sectoral collaboration around social issues, based on proven models such as Prince Albert Saskatchewan’s community mobilization initiative. The second is finding culturally sensitive alternatives to criminal courts by diverting cases into restorative justice processes that resonate more closely with Indigenous beliefs. These approaches would focus more on restoring community balance than pitting adversaries against one another in the mainstream criminal courts. Proposed for consideration is widening the restorative justice circle to include multi-sectoral resources to reduce the chances of re-offending and enhance conflict intervention and resolution.

Chapter 5 provides an overview of a clinician's functional competencies with regard to psychological interventions with children and adolescents, and focuses on levels of intervention competency that permit a psychologist to provide good quality care to the child clients and their families–level of competency that is expected to be attained by well-trained psychologists in the years shortly after they have received their terminal degrees. It first briefly covers basic procedural issues in establishing the therapy contract, and then discusses types of therapeutic procedures that psychologists may competently use with their clients.

This monograph aims to disseminate the results of various research studies carried out in the field of social and community psychology. The studies focus on efforts to build a culture of peace in post-conflict contexts and societies that have suffered collective and socio-political violence, with multiple and persistent human rights violations. Six studies on the psychosocial effects of transitional justice rituals from Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Basque country, Chile, and Ecuador compose this issue. This issue presents a series of results regarding the effects of reparation rituals and Truth Commissions, combining different methods and analysis strategies, including general population surveys, newspaper and social media content analysis, community intervention assessments and qualitative documentary analysis. Finally, two review books were included. First, a Peace Psychology Book that explores the implications and difficulties faced by societies that have experienced large-scale collective violence. Second, the problem of human rights violations and how to confront them, socio-political conflicts and the building of a culture of democracy and peace in Latin America are transversal axes of the chapters of this second book.

The objective of this study was to offer policy concept ideas in fulfilling restitution for the victims in accordance with the required attainment of justice. Restitution related to the payment of costs charged to the person based on a court decision that has permanent legally enforceable for the costs suffered by the victim or heir. This study used a normative method using a statutory approach and a case approach. From the three court decisions and one trafficking case in the constabulary, the victim's comprehension of the legal handling experienced is sufficient to accommodate the victim's wishes in obtaining victim's rights. Conclusions are drawn through an inductive to deductive thought process. Of the three decisions reviewed, it proved that the application of restitution payments was not able to fulfill a sense of justice for the victim. In fact, in practice, the fulfillment of compensation payments is in the non-penal space, from the perspective of victim recognition, it is sufficient to accommodate their wishes and hopes for the fulfillment of the expected restitution rights. In order to provide legal certainty for victims of the fulfillment of restitution rights, a legal breakthrough is required. The diversion method as a confirmation of ensuring the payment of the victim's restitution right is an offer. The concept of diversion can be carried out with the limitation of the criteria for the impact experienced by the victim, and the legality of legality is determined through a court decision or decision, as legal achievement through restorative justice is able to restore conflicts from perpetrators and victims.

Police institutions are the first and main gate in law enforcement efforts. First, the police institution in charge of carrying out each criminal case’s enforcement, then the next stage will be determined by the police. The practice of law enforcement so far tends to be retributive justice, so that only a few cases can be resolved in the police investigation process. Restorative justice appears by offering various advantages, including a simple settlement process, involving both parties, both perpetrators and victims, and the role of a third party to mediate, so that cases can be resolved according to the agreement. The police, as the first institution in the law enforcement process, had already issued regulations regarding the application of restorative justice, as a form of law enforcement efforts to change retributive law enforcement. The purpose of this research judicially examined the regulation of restorative justice at the police investigation phase in line with the enactment of the regulation of the Chief of Police Number: SE/8/VII/2018 concerning the Application of Restorative Justice in the Settlement of Criminal Cases and the Regulation of the Chief of the Indonesian Police Number 6 of 2019 concerning Criminal Investigation. This research used a qualitative research method with the type of normative legal research through a statutory approach

Orienteering is a navigational sport using large–scale maps (1: 15000) and a compass to locate, as quickly as possible, a series of control points in a pre–defined order. Orientation of self and map are fundamental skills in the sport of orienteering. The traditional teaching or coaching of this skill is based on a hierarchical model. This model introduces the concept of location of self by initial reference to landmarks, then routes linking individual landmarks followed by configurations of these landmarks and routes. This model quite clearly aligns with the hierarchical model of spatial reference systems suggested by Seigal & White (1975). However, it is proposed that the process-oriented model offered by Downs & Stea (1977) may be more appropriate to orienteering. The model is based on orientation and then develops through route choice, route monitoring and route recognition. Orienteering behaviour, which is based on using map and compass information to select and follow a novel route in a multi-choice route following task, appears to follow this model.
