Youth and the Criminal Justice System: Context and Practices Within Asia

Document Actions
This paper was prepared for presentation and discussion at the VIVA Asia Cutting Edge Conference in Bangkok, Thailand on 19 – 23 November 2007. The conference theme, The Child Outside the Door, Strengthening Christian Responses to Invisible and Marginalized Children in Asia, addresses children who are in different ways invisible. Invisible children, such as children affected by the criminal justice system, are often those who are most in need and whose situation means they are least likely to benefit from development and social service.

What is restorative justice?

Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behaviour. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that include all stakeholders.

Practices and programs reflecting restorative purposes will respond to crime by: (a) identifying and taking steps to repair harm, (b) involving all  stakeholders, and (c) transforming the traditional relationship between communities and their governments in responding to crime. more
