Editorial Reviews

Elizabeth White, Executive Director, St. Leonard's Society of Canada

"You have covered a lot of territory in a thorough and entertaining manner. ...I think your package (video) would be very useful to our agencies as we train volunteers and present community information sessions... In today's context, when the concept of a separate youth justice system is increasingly challenged, it is timely to have your package accessible to stir public discussion."

Product Description

Resolving Conflict Creatively between Victims & Youth Offenders is an educational series intended to raise public awareness of an alternative to the existing justice system's approach, to provide training and to encourage citizens to participate in community justice practices.

Diversion & Transformation= (Two hours - 4 Tapes)

The first part, "Diversion" addresses the issue of alternatives to incarceration for low-risk offenders. The procedure and effectiveness of these processes are revealed through the computer-assisted communication between a "concerned" citizen (FATHER) and legal professionals including a police officer, criminologist, probation and parole officer, prosecutor, judge and community justice representative.

"Transformation" demonstrates that principles of reconciliation and inter-personal healing not only play a role in preventing recidivism and restoring the community's overall sense of well-being but helps victims deal with the psychological consequences of crime.
