Deliberation has a value in itself. Ideally, however, deliberation should also lead to valuable outcomes. We checked whether long stretches of deliberation led to such good outcomes. This was indeed the case. An example comes from a group in a Brazilian favela with five police officers and eleven local inhabitants. In one sequence of the discussion, there was a stretch of 29 speech at a high level of deliberation. At the end of this stretch there were calls to reach agreements on concrete issues. A community resident, for example, argued that "the problems have been discussed, now let us move on to solutions." Agreement was reached from both sides that police officers should be recruited from the community itself and not from the outside. There was also agreement that police officers should get a better training in skills of communication. On the side of the community, there was agreement that it needs more leadership to represent its interests. These were all valuable outcomes resulting from a long stretch of a high level deliberation. According to the task of the group, these outcomes were helpful for a more peaceful culture in the favela. Deliberation had fulfilled its goal.
