Restorative-Justice
What is Juvenile Restorative Justice?
The Grafton County/Coos County Juvenile Restorative Justice focuses on youth that have committed minor offenses. The program works with the youth to make amends for the harm they caused the victim, community, family and themselves by diverting first time offenders from the traditional justice system. The program holds youth accountable while addressing at-risk behaviors to deter from future legal involvement.
