This paper explores the evolution and implementation of Balanced and Restorative Justice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, an area that has not been explored in the literature. Specifically, we examine how accountability was defined by Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system, how it was measured, and what impact it had, which has to date not been explored in the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania operationalizes accountability in terms of community service, restitution, and victim awareness training. Over 15 years, there was a 6.04% increase in community service hours performed, no change in the amount of restitution paid, and a less than 1% increase in victim awareness training completed
