“…Not only does RJ diversion reduce exposure to the negative individual consequences of punitive justice approaches such as increased recidivism and long-term negative life outcomes, but through its focus on healing it also creates an opportunity to uncover adverse circumstances and promote protective factors in the lives of adolescents (González & Epstein, 2021). The socioemotional health and social skills acquired during the RJ process are associated with lower involvement in youth violence (Duke & Borowsky, 2015). At a community level, collaborations with law enforcement to offer RJ diversion could impact perceptions of police trustworthiness and add to what little is known about the complex relationships between race and perceptions of law enforcement performance and trustworthiness (Kim et al, 2019).…”

Restorative justice diversion aligns with youths’ developmental needs more than traditional approaches. However, there is a research gap regarding its effectiveness among diverse youth, and when initiated by police. This study evaluated misdemeanor cases that occurred in Minneapolis between September 2014 and December 2018 finding that youth who participated in restorative justice diversion after arrest were less likely to experience re-arrest in the following year compared to those processed traditionally. Positive program impacts for Black and American Indian youth demonstrate RJ diversion can be effective with diverse youth while differences in rates of successful diversion by participating community agency highlight opportunities for further study. This study demonstrates the importance of continuing to understand and expand restorative justice diversion with youth.

The likelihood of doing risky behavior such as drug use, high-risk sexual behavior, and adjustment problems in youth period is high. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of risky behaviors among first-year medical students. Objectives: In this research, we intend to study the extent of risk behaviors based on demographic variables among medical students of Hamadan. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on all first-year medical students (498 females and 292 males) of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2016-2017. The study data were collected by the Iranian Youth Risk-Taking Scale (IYRTS). Results: The mean scores of risky driving (2.86) (53.60%) and sexual relationship/attitude (2.43) (48.60%) were higher than other high-risk behaviors while the mean scores of drug use (1.33) (26.60%) and drinking (1.57) (31.40%) were lower than other risky behaviors in medical students. Results of the Chi-square test indicated that the risky behaviors in males were significantly higher than those in females (P<0.05). The results of 1-sample t-test indicated that the prevalence of risky driving, violence, smoking, drug use and drinking in Hamadan medical students is less than average, and the sexual relationship and attitude among these students is at moderate level (P>0.05). The relationship between age and education with risky driving was negative and statistically significant. The violence was positively related to drinking and smoking. The sexual relation, attitude, and drinking statically significant. Conclusion: Since some sorts of risky behaviors among students are prevalent, it seems logical to inform adolescents and youth about such high-risk behaviors and related health issues.

“…While most studies on youth reentry and recidivism have focused on risk factors (Borum & Verhaagen, 2006), protective factors are equally important to consider when predicting recidivism and designing and implementing reentry programs that enhance engagement (Lodewijks, de Ruiter, & Doreleijers, 2010). Protective factors are characteristics or attributes that foster healthy development and positive choices (Duke & Borowsky, 2015; Sameroff, 2009). They counterbalance risk factors by lowering the likelihood of an undesirable outcome and minimizing the impact of risk (Vincent, Guy, & Grisso, 2012).…”

This article presents the findings of a 2-year-long quasi-experimental study of post-release engagement and recidivism for youth with disabilities. The effects of specialized Reentry Intervention and Support for Engagement (RISE) for youth with disabilities were compared with two other groups: (a) youth with disabilities who received traditional special education services, and (b) youth without disabilities who received traditional general education services in a juvenile correctional facility. Regardless of group, participants who were engaged in the community 30 days post-release were more likely to be engaged at 120 days and less likely to recidivate than nonengaged participants. However, compared with the two other groups, participants who received RISE services were more likely to be engaged in the community at 120 days post-release and have significantly lower rates of recidivism. We conclude our study by examining limitations, suggestions, implications for practice and policy, and future research.
