JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
Advocates for Restorative Justice - a new
paradigm or lens in viewing the problem of
crime and the response to it. Crime is viewed as a
failure of responsibility sometimes on the part
of the community as well as offenders and their
families
Considers community as the best place where
individuals can know themselves better in a
variety of real life situations thus improving their
social skills and enhancing their social functioning

Retributive Justice

Restorative Justice

Crime is an act vs. State, violation of law Crime is an act vs. another person and the community

Criminal justice system controls crime

Crime control is with community

Offender accountability

Accountability defined as assuming responsibility and

action to repair harm

Crime: an individual act and

responsibility

Crime has both individual and social dimensions of

responsibility

Punishment is effective
Threat of punishment deters crime
Punishment changes behaviour

Punishment alone is not effective in changing

behaviour and is disruptive to community harmony
and good relationships

Victims are peripheral to the process

Victims are central to the process of resolving crime

Offender defined by deficits

Offender defined by capacity to make reparation

Focus on establishing guilt/blame

Focus on problem solving, liabilities, obligation

Emphasis on adversarial relationship

Emphasis on dialogue and negotiation

Imposition of pain to punish and deter

Restitution as means of restoring both parties; goal is

to restore/reconcile

Community on sideline/represented by
State

Community as facilitator in restorative process

Response focused on offenders past

behavior

Focused on harmful consequences/future
