Download or read book Facilitating Justice written by Caryn Elizabeth Saxon and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As restorative justice continues to gain greater legitimacy within the criminal justice system, its practices are naturally adapted to more contexts, and new models of restorative practice inevitably emerge. With this evolution and growth, restorative practices have developed which replace community-based volunteer facilitators with paid professionals such as law enforcement, probation, and parole officers. A lack of research exists as to the role volunteer facilitation plays in the restorative process, as well as the effect removing community volunteers may have on the integrity and validity of restorative justice and its outcomes. Using a blended-methods approach, including a questionnaire and in-depth interviews, the current study focuses on the perceptions of a group of volunteer restorative facilitators in southwest Missouri regarding their views on the roles of community and volunteerism within restorative justice. Results indicate that the volunteer facilitators do link their volunteerism to the efficacy of restorative justice, as well as the role community plays in restorative processes. These results support theoretical rationales for restorative justice, and also lead to important questions regarding restorative justice, its process, and its practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reductions in police department funding have raised the importance of volunteers in enhancing organizational performance, improving community trust and confidence, and at times accomplishing basic tasks to maintain public safety and security. During a period when police administrators are asked to do more with less, and to engage in smarter, community-oriented policing, citizen volunteers are an invaluable resource. Police Reserves and Volunteers is an invaluable primer for those looking to understand the benefits and challenges involved in the use of the volunteers within global law enforcement agencies. Using cases from a range of specialists and precincts, this edited volume provides a rare window into police administration from the state legislation that regulates police reserves in California to the local models observed in many counties and cities across the United States. Police Reserves and Volunteers offers volunteers, local elected officials, and law enforcement straightforward guidelines to enhance police goals and build public trust in local communities.

Download or read book The Role of Community in Restorative Justice written by Fernanda Fonseca Rosenblatt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although restorative justice is probably one of the most talked about topics in contemporary criminology, little has been written about how community involvement in restorative justice translates into practice. While advocates have presented the community as an essential pillar of restorative justice, the rationale for why and how this is the case remains underdeveloped and largely unchallenged. This book offers an empirical and theoretical explanation of what ‘community involvement’ means and what work it does in restorative justice. Drawing on an empirical case study and the wider sociological literature, The Role of Community in Restorative Justice examines the involvement of the community in one selected practice of restorative justice and also considers the implications of the English and Welsh experience for development of a more coherent framework for operationalizing community involvement in restorative justice practices. It is argued that restorative justice programmes need to start from a more concrete and up-to-date notion of community. While operationalizing community involvement, they need to acknowledge, all at once: the importance of place; the importance of family links, friendship and other social ties; and the importance of similar social traits and identities. This book is essential reading for students, researchers and academics in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, sociology, community studies, policy studies, social policy and socio-legal studies. This book will also be valuable reading for a variety of practitioners and policymakers, particularly working with restorative justice and youth justice.
