Restorative Community Justice: Repairing Harm and Transforming Communities
An anthology of original essays, this book presents debates over practice, theory, and implementation of restorative justice. Attention is focused on the movement’s direction toward a more holistic, community-oriented approach to criminal justice intervention
Juvenile Justice Reform and Restorative Justice
This book, based on a large-scale research project funded by the National Institute of Justice and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, provides an overview of the restorative justice conferencing programs currently in operation in the United States, paying particular attention to the qualitative dimensions of this, based on interviews, focus groups and ethnographic observation. It provides an unrivalled view of restorative justice conferencing in…

Whom and How Do We Reintegrate? Finding Community in Restorative Justice
Police reform, restorative justice and restorative policing
When it has not been focused on addressing corruption and allegations of bias, harassment, and brutality, much police reform since the 1960s can be characterized as a slow movement away from the professional model of policing (Kelling and Moore, 1988). Specifically, much of this reform can be seen as an attempt to escape the rigidity associated with the paramilitary organizational structures, and to overcome the limits these bureaucratic structur…
Restorative policing, conferencing and community
This paper describes the experience of a police department with the restorative conferencing process in a fast growing urban/suburban city. We describe how conferencing changed the focus of the police response to juvenile offenders and offered an alternative to court and formal processing that allowed a high proportion of moderate to serious offenders to be supervised in the community as a diversion option. In particular, conferencing became a po…

La participation des victimes dans le processus décisionnel de la justice des mineurs: Les résultats d’un sondage national auprès des juges aux États-Unis
Les tribunaux pour mineurs ont traditionnellement fonctionné comme des systèmes clos prioritairement centrés sur les besoins des jeunes délinquants et l'évaluation du danger qu'ils représentent. Bien que la législation sur les droits des victimes contraigne le personnel de la justice des mineurs à faire une place aux victimes d'actes criminels dans le processus de prise de décision, leur véritable participation n'est pas assurée pour autant. L'im…

Young People, Trouble, and Crime: Restorative Justice as a Normative Theory of Informal Social Control and Social Support
Restorative justice has emerged in recent years as a promising approach to youth crime focused on repairing harm and rebuilding relationships. Although the practice of restorative justice has already demonstrated significant effect on individual crime victims and offenders in a number of jurisdictions around the world, a greater community-building potential has yet to be realized as a result of the failure to understand and apply restorative prin…
Crime Victims, Restorative Justice and the Juvenile Court: Exploring Victim Needs and Involvement in the Response to Youth Crime
Historically, juvenile courts have presented significant obstacles to crime victim participation and have given little emphasis to victim satisfaction as an intervention goal. In a recent series of focus groups held in four U.S. states, crime victims provided in-depth qualitative accounts of barriers to input involvement resulting from court culture and protocols. This paper presents these findings and considers implications for restorative justi…
Introduction to the Special Issue: Co-Guest Editors
The Fork in the Road to Juvenile Court Reform
Juvenile justice reform efforts seeking a more criminalized juvenile court and justice system, as well as those aimed at revitalizing the individual treatment mission, have been one-dimensional in their failure to address the multiple justice needs of communities associated with youth crime, and they have been insular in their singular focus on the needs and risks of offenders. In the late 1990s, a growing number of juvenile justice professionals…
Restorative Justice and Earned Redemption: Communities, Victims, and Offender Reintegration
The author provides a comprehensive discussion of the roots of the new reintegrative and restorative justice theories as well as the success of current, preliminary applications of these theories. Arguing that the traditional and opposing theories of the retributive paradigm and the treatment model offer only a simplistic choice between helping or hurting offenders, the author contends that these systems fail to address adequately the needs of co…
Community justice/restorative justice: Prospects for a new social ecology for community corrections
The Return to Family Intervention in Youth Services: A Juvenile Justice Case Study
After more than a decade of relative neglect, youth services policymakers in the late 1980s began targeting the family as a primary focus of intervention in the response to a range of deviant behavior. One recent example of this return to family intervention has been a renewed emphasis on family services in juvenile courts and juvenile justice agencies. This case study describes one attempt to implement a new "family-focused" intervention approac…

Resident Adaptations in an Alcoholics Anonymous-Based Residential Program for the Urban Homeless
This article reports exploratory findings from a "mini-ethnography" conducted as part of a larger process evaluation of a federally funded program designed to provide long-term, phased recovery services to homeless alcoholics in Los Angeles, California. Among other issues, the study describes problems that may arise in adapting a primarily informal and self-help (Alcoholics Anonymous-based) program approach, the "social model," to an increasingly…
