The Victims, Judges, and Juvenile Court Reform Through Restorative
Justice project was funded by the Office for Victims of Crime with
the overall goal of improving the juvenile court response to crime
victims. Four focus groups were held during the spring and summer
of 1997, bringing together a total of 20 juvenile court judges and
18 crime victims to hear each other's perspectives about problems
in juvenile court. In addition, participants engaged in a structured
dialogue about the source of the problems and potential solutions,
especially those that might be developed in accordance with restorative
justice principles.
