This manual presents principles and practices that provide a framework for the development and operation of a community conference, a practice based in restorative justice. A number of topics are addressed clearly and succinctly: the role of conference facilitators; the conference process; the role of the youth justice unit of Tasmania’s Department of Health and Human Services; the participation of the victim, the youth offender, and the youth’s parents or guardians; sanctions; confidentiality; reporting on conference outcomes; and referral to other services. An appendix contains many forms useful for community conferences.
Your donation helps Prison Fellowship International repair the harm caused by crime by emphasizing accountability, forgiveness, and making amends for prisoners and those affected by their actions. When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.
