The Juvenile Justice Institute is happy to announce that our latest report on restorative justice conferencing programs, also known as mediation centers, has been released today.
Restorative justice conferencing programs aim to increase community engagement, reduce recidivism, prevent youth from moving deeper into the juvenile justice system, and produce greater community and/or victim satisfaction. The report also discusses how restorative justice programs work, and how factors like race/ethnicity, gender, and age affect aspects of these programs and youth outcomes.
You can read the report here. If you would like to see all of our previous publications, check out our Reports page.
