The first two explored whether the relationship between the victim and the offender, as well as the type of crime, was associated with differences in the likelihood of VIS submission.

There is a gap in knowledge concerning the reliable implementation of the <i>specific responsivity principle</i> of the RNR model, which emphasizes considering youths' unique characteristics to support rehabilitation success.
