Restorative Justice and Adolescent Health

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
International Handbook on Adolescent Health and Development

Abstract

In this chapter, two questions are asked: (1) Whether a restorative justice approach is complementary to a more traditional welfare orientation to youth justice and (2) whether restorative justice responses as such can contribute to the mental health of adolescents. Welfare-oriented youth justice systems appear to be under pressure, while restorative justice is emerging as a possible third way in responding to youth crime. Additionally, we explore how restorative justice practices fit a legal and rights-based discourse, and how the underlying socio-ethical grounds of restorative justice can inspire more comprehensive reflections regarding youth and welfare. Finally, we examine the feasibility and ‘efficacy’ of restorative justice practices based on empirical research, and we describe and argue how restorative justice can contribute to the well-being of adolescents who offend.
