What is balanced and restorative justice? Do you believe in this philosophy? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
"Ensuring community safety, insisting on offender accountability to victims and
equipping offenders in the system with skills so they are able to pursue noncriminal
paths after release are the core principles of the balanced and restorative justice
(BARJ) model" (Bringing Balance to Juvenile Justice 2002, 2).
The three main components of restorative justice are the offender, the victim and the community, including juvenile justice professionals.
In the balanced and restorative justice format offenders, victims, community members and juvenile justice professionals have new roles as they seek to sanction offenders through accountability, rehabilitate them through competency development and enhance community safety. These new roles are briefly summarized in Table 9.5.
Four models of restorative justice may also be a means of diversion: victim–offender mediation, community reparative boards, family group conferencing and circle sentencing.
