Children are the group most likely to be victimized yet least
likely to report the crimes against them. Because of their unique
vulnerability, an elaborate set of protections tries to secure
their safety at home, in school, and in the community, yet they
often experience further trauma inside the very criminal justice
system designed to punish those who harm them. Such a system can
leave child victims without emotional healing and a sense of
justice because it does not consider the full scope of their
wishes, interests, and rights. This failure can be attributed to
the system's tendency to view children as objects of protection
instead of legitimate rights-holders.
Here, using a nuanced, multi-dimensional theory of children's
interrelated rights and needs vis a vis victimization, Tali Gal
presents an innovative restorative justice model for repairing
harms and rebuilding relationships in the wake of crimes against
children. It validates empirically documented children's
needs--such as telling their stories, asking questions, and a sense
of autonomy and control over the proceedings--and holds their
associated and often-overlooked rights--such as rehabilitation and
their overarching best interests-paramount. The rich theoretical
underpinnings of the book are vividly illustrated by examples of
successful restorative justice programs involving children
(including the highly controversial inclusion of child victims of
sexual assault). In addition, a set of eight heuristics provides a
convenient reference for restorative justice programs to ensure
that they safeguard the full range of child victims' needs and
rights at all times.
With its unique human-rights perspective on the study of childhood
victimization and an innovative, child-inclusive restorative
justice model, this book promises to be a touchstone for
practitioners, policymakers, and researchers concerned with
children's well-being in the aftermath of crime and violence.
