Balahur, Doina and Littlechild, Brian and Smith, Roger and Littlechild, Brian. Restorative Justice Developments in Romania and Great Britain: Sociological-Juridical Enquires and Applied Studies of Social Work.: This book provides contributions from the research and academic world on the movement and development of restorative justice within the reform of the juvenile justice systems of Romania and Great Britain. The authors present the potential the new movement for restorative justice could have on the reform of juvenile justice systems. Contributing authors present two critically different experiences, from Romania and Great Britain. They argue for rejecting the punitive interventions in youth justice and bring arguments for the effectiveness of restorative justice practices for dealing with the victims of crime and for diverting children and young offenders from criminal activity. This book is the result of the scientific cooperation between researchers and academics from Romania and Great Britain, and represents an important trend of the Europeanization of the scientific research and of comparative analysis among different countries in Europe. Multidisciplinary scientific approaches to the changes in criminal justice and in juvenile justice systems are welcome as they could contribute to the development of better strategies in crime prevention.

Balahur, Doina. Romanian juvenile justice system towards its way to restorative practices.: The practice of VOM in Romania has been experimentally undertaken in Bucharest and Craiova. The two experimental centres have been set up in 2002 based on the partnership between the Department of Reintegration from Romanian Ministry of Justice, Centre for Legal Resources and the Foundation Family and Child Care. The technical assistance has been provided by the experts of DFID from UK. According to the aims and objectives of the VOM experiment only those types of crimes have been selected which are based on the criminal complain of the victim (battering, assault and other crimes against the person, insult etc). The persons - victims and young offenders - have been integrated based on their voluntary consent. (excerpt)
