Sexual violence (SV) is a widespread human rights issue. Survivors of SV often experience profound dehumanization and poor health outcomes when their trauma is not properly addressed, rendering it critical that they are honored and empowered within subsequent processes of healing and seeking justice. With adjudication through the criminal legal system largely underutilized due to retraumatization, scrutiny from law enforcement professionals, and high rates of case closure, restorative justice (RJ) has emerged as a promising option for survivors to repair harm and experience accountability. Little is known, however, regarding the best practices for its use in cases of SV. To meet this need, a scoping review was conducted to identify the best practices for the implementation of RJ after instances of SV experienced in adulthood. Following the search methodology outlined by the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis for scoping reviews, 15 articles met search criteria, including four empirical studies and 11 nonempirical research materials spanning five academic disciplines. Best practices and structures for RJ were subsequently identified, including key phases for appropriate implementation. This review can be used to create increasingly productive RJ processes for SV survivors, which is particularly important for those coming from marginalized communities facing structural inequities, as well as survivors on university campuses. As researchers, we have the power to use science to propel society toward the creation of more efficacious healing spaces for survivors of SV, and optimizing safe RJ processes plays a key role in bringing this to fruition.

性暴力 (SV) 是一个普遍的人权问题。当 SV 的幸存者的创伤没有得到妥善处理时，他们往往会经历严重的非人化和不良的健康结果，这使得他们在随后的康复和寻求正义的过程中得到尊重和授权变得至关重要。由于再创伤、执法专业人员的审查以及案件结案率高，通过刑事法律系统进行的裁决在很大程度上未得到充分利用，恢复性司法 (RJ) 已成为幸存者修复伤害和承担责任的有前途的选择。然而，关于它在 SV 案例中使用的最佳实践知之甚少。为了满足这一需求，进行了范围界定审查，以确定在成年后经历 SV 实例后实施 RJ 的最佳实践。按照 JBI 证据综合手册概述的搜索方法进行范围界定审查，有 15 篇文章符合搜索标准，包括四项实证研究和 11 项跨越五个学科的非实证研究材料。随后确定了 RJ 的最佳实践和结构，包括适当实施的关键阶段。该审查可用于为 SV 幸存者创建越来越多产的 RJ 过程，这对于来自面临结构性不平等的边缘化社区的人以及大学校园里的幸存者尤为重要。作为研究人员，我们有能力利用科学推动社会为 SV 幸存者创造更有效的治疗空间，而优化安全的 RJ 过程在实现这一目标方面发挥着关键作用。
