This article considers the impact of mediation on the need for police and court resources, particularly as regards enforcement and filling of new complaints. Tracking parties' reengagement with the court system after a judgment has been issued affords insight into the long-term costs and savings of mediation. The results demonstrated that people who mediate are less likely to resort to the police or court system in the period following mediation than those who adjudicate. Mediation therefore results in long-term cost savings to public agencies, in addition to producing higher rates of satisfaction by the parties. The author suggests that stronger partnerships should be created between community mediation centers and the police, courts, and agencies in their area in order to increase the number of people who receive mediation services.
