Abstract:
Youth courts act as an restorative justice alternative to the formal juvenile
justice system for minor and first-time offenders. The youth court process
is entirely handled by youth volunteers who have received special training
in informally adjudicating other youth. During an Alaska statewide youth
court conference in November 2003, a total of 22 youth court volunteers
representing 14 youth courts in Alaska participated in focus groups to help
assess the experience of volunteering for youth courts and to seek input
in ways to improve volunteer recruitment and sustainability. This report
documents the several recommendations to improve the recruitment and retention
of skilled volunteers made by focus group volunteers. |
