Zambia. The study legal and extra-legal factors that influence families’ decisions on which mode of justice to
use between formal justice system and traditional/informal justice system and conflict solutions in court. The
study examines the topic from the perspective of the families of the victims i.e. I analyze their views of
justice, their judgement of their alternatives in the court system and their role in the litigation. The study of
child sexual abuse is made from the standpoint of middle range theories to explain factors that influence
decisions when choosing which mode of justice to use. Procedural justice theory is also used to explain
how the families view the justice system.. Middle range theories and procedural justice theory are used to
analyze in-depth interviews with 8 families of children who have been victims of child sexual abuse and the
written records that are available about their case. | en |
