The Restitution Experience in Youth Employment. A Monograph and Training Guide to Jobs Components. Restitution Education, Specialized Training and Technical Assistance Program.
Bazemore, S. Gordon
This document is a model curriculum for the development of employment components for juvenile restitution programs. It provides a practical discussion of the experiences of five restitution projects around the country, lists their job components, and presents an overview of the common features of successful employment components. A step-by-step implementation guide outlines easy, onsite technical assistance for a 2-day participation-oriented training session for professionals. The guide is written to encourage trainees to develop an implementation plan while remaining mindful of possible pitfalls in selling the idea to the community, the government, and private businesses. It provides a mixture of strategies so that a plan can be developed that best suits a jurisdiction's potential resources and the needs of the community while holding juvenile offenders accountable to victims in a therapeutic way. Attachment A provides a questionnaire for practice and resource assessment. A listing of 23 selected readings in youth employment is provided. (CML)
