Este trabajo pretende conocer si es viable aplicar en mayores de dieciocho años técnicas de resolución de conflictos judiciales alternativas a la privación de libertad, que han sido desarrolladas con éxito en menores de edad. Los autores desarrollan un modelo para aplicar esa técnica en delincuentes adultos. La metodología utilizada ha sido el estudio y la comparación de los materiales comúnmente aceptados en las técnicas de investigación social. Los principales resultados son:
1. Es posible aplicar a los adultos infractores las medidas alternativas a la prisión, desarrolladas con éxito en menores-jóvenes con medidas no privativas de libertad.
2. Se puede alcanzar la satisfacción psicológica de la víctima a cargo del infractor, y, además, es factible añadir a este fin marcado por la Ley un segundo objetivo fundamental para entender el proceso de mediación: la solución del conflicto.
La conclusión del trabajo es que la aplicación del modelo cognitivo-conductual a los infractores menos graves de edad adulta, facilita un recurso de carácter estable, posibilitador de la reparación, previniendo la reincidencia y comisión de nuevos delitos a través de un proceso educativo de toma de conciencia y asunción de responsabilidades.

This report aims to determine whether it is feasible to apply in adults over eighteen years old techniques of judicial conflict resolution alternatives to the denial of freedom, which have been developed successfully in minors. The authors intend to develop a model to apply the technique in adult offenders.
The methodology used was the study and comparison of the materials commonly accepted in the techniques of social research.
The main results are:
1. Alternatives to imprisonment, successfully developed in minors/young people on probation, can be applied to adult offenders.
2. It can be achieved the psychological satisfaction of the victim by the offender, and, moreover, it is feasible to add to this purpose marked by the Law a second fundamental objective in order to understand the mediation process: the solution of the conflict.
The report concludes that the application of the cognitive behavioral model to less serious adult offenders provides a stable resource, enabler of redress, preventing recidivism and commission of new crimes through a process of educational awareness and responsibility assumption.

While higher education (HE) institutions in South Africa have become demographically ever more diverse, transcultural contact among students and staff members has seemingly failed to mend race-based prejudices and structural inequality. By acknowledging the embeddedness of symbolic violence in physical space and lived experience, this article proposes an experimental and embodied approach to critically engage with ongoing structural and symbolic prejudice. The argument is made that the physical landscape of HE institutions, as well as the lived experience of marginalised students and staff members, must be seen as the first port of call if transformation is to occur. The article argues that visual redress in the form of removing, contextualising, or adding new visual symbols is not sufficient to address the complexities of the issues involved. Embodied learning experiences using visual arts and performance processes could be included to enhance redress. The article therefore draws on the writings and thought of Nancy Fraser, Henri Lefebvre, Achille Mbembe, and various others in an attempt to sketch a theoretical framework to think through the need for and possibilities of visual, invisible, subtle, and relational redress.
