Introduction This paper is the second one describing the findings of a study on mediation or victimoffender reconciliation in Finland. The first one was presented a year ago. The present paper will concentrate on the observations of mediation sessions and discuss their meaning for the position of mediation. The Finnish mediation system gets most of its clients from the police and the prosecutor and deals with them before their cases are sent to the court. Although it is permissible and even commendable to retrieve cases from the community at large, without the intervention of the authorities, few cases appear this way. This is an agency-based system, using one vocabulary. Some of the basic elements of the Finnish mediation system were given in the paper a year ago, and a more comprehensive charting of the system is being prepared in NRILP by Ida Mielityinen. Observation of mediation and court sessions In our contacts with the mediation agencies and mediators we expressed a wish to observe and possibly audiotape mediation sessions. Some mediators disliked the idea; one person held that the presence of outside observers would jeopardize the whole idea of mediation; another could allow an observer in some cases but rejected the idea of tape-recording. However, most mediators were willing to let us in if the parties would agree. The observed cases were ones that mediators suggested to us either directly or through the mediation agency. There were no particular attempts to make the selection of sessions representative. Because of this self-selection, it is likely that the observed sessions were chaired by mediators who were more experienced than the average. After having witnessed several sessions dealing with vandalism in which the victims had been corporate entities we expressed one wish: to see sessions with individual persons as victims. The processing of eight cases were observed in nine mediation sessions. Three of the mediation sessions were tape-recorded; of others, extensive notes were made. In addition, mostly after the mediation sessions, a few parties to mediation were briefly interviewed. The types of crimes the observed sessions dealt with include examples of the most important crime categories in Finnish mediation. Four cases dealt with assaults; a man had kicked his ex-girlfriend in her apartment; another man had kicked his girlfriend in the head in a public park; a man had hit another one in a bar and the victim’s teeth had broken; the fourth assault by two teenagers against two other teenagers involved also the robbing of a small amount of money and other property. Two sessions dealt with vandalism; a group of schoolboys had painted graffiti; a man is his twenties had broken an expensive shop window at a shopping mall. One case involved the theft of the wallet from a pupil at a school and use of the stolen 125
