Experiences in Reconciling Risk Management and Restorative Justice

Abstract: Circles of Support and Accountability (COSA) is a restorative justice-based model that originated in Canada in the mid-1990s for the postincarceration reintegration of those who have offended sexually. Although the roots of COSA are in restorative justice philosophy, the program has also found favour, to some degree, with organisations such as police services and corrections that are traditionally concerned more with protecting community safety than with the ideals of restorative justice.

“…Problem behavior appears to have surfaced after the index crime occurred. The higher dynamic risk factors of coping skills, lack of social support , and skills to hold one’s own outside the forensic institution are consistent with the needs addressed in the Circles of Support and Accountability (COSA) project studies, implying that pedophile offenders require a highly supportive network (Hannem, 2013; Höing, Bogaerts, & Vogelvang, 2013). The level of victim violence is remarkably low, although this is an oft-mentioned risk factor in the development of sexual offenders (Lee, Jackson, Pattinson, & Ward, 2002; Mouridsen, 2012).…”

“…In sum, this class is characterized by high pedophilia and pervasive developmental disorders, low historical risk factors, higher dynamic risk factors, particularly coping, problem awareness, social skills , and crime responsibility , related to the higher affective facet score on the PCL-R. Treatment could focus on the acquisition of social skills and coping skills (Woessner, 2010), and a prognosis could focus on post-treatment external control of the patient group, similar to the COSA project (Hannem, 2013).…”

“…Si bien es cierto que todos estos factores señalados como aspectos contenidos en las historias y las investigaciones de las personas detenidas son parte fundamental en el proceso de la reinserción social, parecen ser también variables observadas en las interacciones que el liberado establece al egreso de la penal; es decir, parece que se integran de manera natural en su contexto; son, por tanto, motivo de análisis en la reinserción social de los penados (Hannem, 2013). Esos vínculos naturales podrían mitigar el impacto, al ser organizados y estructurados; podrían ayudar en el afrontamiento de problemas en la adaptación (Jones et al, 2010;Petersilia, 2004).…”

“…Estableciendo como importante el conocer las características de los que abandonan el sistema (término que en este estudio se ha asignado a los entrevistados que han sido inestables en su participación en el programa y que terminan o terminarán por abandonarlo), el análisis se ha centrado en el apoyo informal, en tanto se asume su importancia en el proceso de reinserción social. Taxman (2004) y Hannem (2013) señalan que al egresar las personas de un centro de reclusión tendrán que superar varios obstáculos: la falta de dinero y el no tener trabajo, además de llevar el estigma de haber sido parte de la población penitenciaria. Por eso, la reincorporación de los individuos a la sociedad se vería beneficiada si se consolida una coparticipación de los compañeros de la comunidad, de la familia, de los profesionales de la justicia y de las víctimas (Petersilia, 2004;Rimkus, 2010;Visher & Travis, 2003).…”
