Creating Restorative Juvenile Review Boards

2015 - 2016

To train four communities to transform the practice of their Juvenile Review Board (JRB) diversion programs to a restorative justice group conferencing model that, when possible, includes the crime victim. The JRB is a panel of community volunteers that reviews first-time or low-level delinquency cases referred by police or Probation for diversion from court. Under a restorative justice model, trained mediators help facilitate a discussion beween the offender and victim and their supporters to identify and remedy the harm done to the satisfaction of both parties. The goal of this project is to influence the practices of other JRBs around the state, address the harm of victims, and improve the long-term behavior of the youth involved.
