Restorative Justice |
|
"Offering human treatment services to
offenders and their families seems to threaten proponents of punishment and
incapacitation. They ought to feel threatened, not as people, but as representatives of
positions devoid of research support. At this time, we think restorative justice holds the
most promise for maintaining accountability while encouraging the delivery of services to
higher-risk cases. Restorative Justice approaches may serve the victim and the broader
community while contributing to reduced victimization through the support of effective
services for offenders." |

RESTORATIVE MEASURES
Restorative measures represent a philosophy and a
process that acknowledges that when a person does harm, it effects the person(s) they
hurt, the community and themselves. When using restorative measures, an attempt is made to
repair the harm caused by one person to another and to the community so that order is
restored for everyone. By applying restorative measures in schools, school personnel have
another tool to use with children to repair harm and teach problem solving skills.
Restorative measures allow for all involved individuals and come to terms, on a personal
level, with the harm done. All have an active role to play in the process. When we change
our view and see children and youth as resources rather than problems, and change our
approach to violations from punitive to restorative, success is more likely.
