Restitution/Community Service
The main goals
of restitution and community service programs are to hold offenders
personally accountable for their crimes and to make reparations to
victims either directly or indirectly.
Research has
shown that restitution has therapeutic value for offenders and
victims. It permits the offender to regain self-respect by doing
the right thing and provides a sense of justice, as well as
reparation, to the victim.
The juvenile
restitution program operates with the philosophy that all youth in
New Orleans should be held accountable to the community for their
actions. By offering a renewed self-respect to delinquent
juveniles, the program strives to make a difference.
Juvenile
restitution provides community service supervision and payment
status monitoring.
