BACKGROUND
RESTORE is the program within Restorative Justice Services that deals with shoplifting offenses.
RESTORE is an alternative method of holding a young offender accountable by facilitating a
meeting with the young offender,parents/guardians,a victim/merchant representative and members
of the community to determine th hae m done by Then me, and what should be done to repair the
harm. In a RESTORE session participants are educated aboutshow shoplifting harms not only the
merchant, but many other partsofth i om\m`uni,ty.J he objective in a RESTORE session is to help
the young offender understand how Nis actions affect-others,and make him accountable for the harm
caused by his actions. By addressing all concerns in an open circle, it is hoped that the offender's
awareness of how his actions impact others will increase, and he/she will make better future
decisions. Community volunteers help the young people understand the harm caused and encourage
them to become more productive members of the community. The young offender then has one
month to complete contract obligations designed to repair the harm to victim, community, family
and self, after which he/she returns for a completion interview with community volunteers. Upon
program completion, charges against the offender may be dismissed.
