Restorative Circle Case Study

444 Words2 Pages

A third example of how this leadership program can help juveniles was when Williams was called by a worried mother. This mother was worried for her two young sons that were in quarrels with each other. When Williams invited the mother and sons for a conference between him and another CFI member they were finally able to have an open communication about what was going on. In this conference the point of view of the mother and sons were known. The mother told her sons that she doesn’t want them fighting with each other for nonsense. The sons then replied with they don’t have an issue with each other, but towards their mother because of her point of view on things. That’s when the other CFI member asked them, “You two are brothers would you kill each other?” The …show more content…

Like adolescents attend school during the week we can establish programs for troubled juveniles to attend. This program can be a communication program that is driven by therapist and mentors working together to help troubled youths or a group of juveniles having an issue. A program like this is called Restorative Circle. Restorative Circle consists of a facilitator, the harmed person, the person who was harmed and the witnesses. These people are brought together when an issue rises. In this circle there are rules to which everyone that will be participating in the Restorative Circle have to agree to. The most important rules are respecting the person who is talking, listen as openly as possible and the confidentiality of what is being said in the session. When Restorative Circle is taking place three questions are addressed in the session What happened? Who was impacted? What will be done to make it right? With these questions the issue that once was can now be resolved. After knowing the issue and understanding it everyone will decide how the person who did the harming will fix their

    Providing them with a positive role model and teaching them valuable life skills to become independent. Mentoring for children with incarcerated parents has shown to have a positive influence that can model a different behavior that can hopefully influence the children not to follow their parent’s footsteps (Jarjoura et al., 2001g). When dealing with the parents, it will be very beneficial to advocate for policy changes on the services the individuals can received ones they are release from prison. As a society, we want people to be productive but if the essential tools are not provided this can be very difficult. By advocating for change, this will not only help the parents but this will hopefully also help the children to have a better

  • Analysis Of The Adolescent Diversion Project By Trevor Martin

    1001 Words  | 5 Pages

    Recently, diversion programs have cropped up in many states. The programs keep adolescents out of detention by using the communities around them to support them. The text states, that, “William S. Davidson II created the Adolescent Diversion Project, a project which pairs undergraduate students and adolescents found guilty of breaking and entering, and other crimes. These relationships have been found to cut the youths' rate of ending up back in jail for more offenses in half” (Source 4, 2). The diversion system is used by the courts to get juvenile offenders involved in their community and away from crime by showing them that there is another way to succeed in life, instead of a life of criminal activity.

  • Restorative Justice Practices Meeting The Philosophical Goals Of The Juvenile Justice System

    A Victim-offender medication includes a trained mediator, the victim, and the offender will attend a meeting, the goal is to meet the victims and the offenders needs with healing dialogue as transformative. During a family group conference, a facilitator follows a script or an outline allowing the offender to speak first. Then the victim and then the participants, the purpose is to move process through phases. The neighborhood board includes a board chair, volunteers, the offender and the victim in which the board initiates member deliberation after questioning the offender and their parents through some variation emerging toward circle or a family group conferencing process. I think the neighborhood board conference is best suited to the juvenile justice system because there is neighborhood social support and community norm affirmation which focuses on

    When the authors start to really explain what the program is the subject of having a second chance, and growing up is heavaily shown. These troubled boys have gotten a second chance to rethink, reflect, and reevaluate their actions to better their future. Not everyone has good examples when growing up, or even a good parental figure to guide them into the path of manhood. To illustrate, Dallas Morning News writes, “More than telling these boys to stay out of trouble, Ashford and his team teach life lessons about accountability, respect, responsibility, and empathy”( Dallas morning news, page 2). Though the boys are troubled, they are still being taught the basic things they need to know to becoming a man in this society.

    If community oriented programs are not becoming more of a priority for the at-risk children in the community, those children have a greater chance of entering the system and not leaving it. An example of this type of program is the Project Positive Action through Holistic Education. The program helps the students grow a link to schools. Project Positive Action through Holistic Education includes “peer teaching, school-pride campaigns, peer counseling services, job fairs, and career planning (Araki, 2003)” to help students prepare for the future and keep them out of trouble in the present. Juveniles should be able to leave the detention centers when finished with their sentences and join the real world without being pulled back into the Criminal Justice System.

    This type of justice system is designed very differently when compared with the retributive justice system. The restorative justice system endeavours to bring the victim and the offender together and allow them to speak with each other in the hopes to support the healing process. It will enable the victims to express themselves to the offender and lets the offender apologize and express their feelings to the victim. The restorative justice system often offers the victims of crime closure. The system encourages both parties to reveal themselves to each other and develop a solution for the future to satisfy both parties involved.

    (2) It is an informal mechanism by which the offender is given a chance to resolve the conflict with the victim. The judges, prosecutors or any mediator take into account the behavior of the offender. If the offender behaves in a positive manner his punishment is likely to get reduced or dismissed. A positive behavior accounts to the recognition of harm suffered by the victim and further an attempt to “repair” all the damages suffered by the victim.

Throughout the weeklong training course, I faced many challenges, sometimes multiple simultaneously. One issue, however, sets itself apart from the rest, perhaps from its more critical nature. On the Outpost Challenge night, the staff sent the course participants out hiking across the camp to separate locations. As the evening wore on, the staff received a distress call from one of the teams; one of the team members sliced his hand on broken glass and disappeared into the woods in search of assistance.
