| Zusammenfassung: | Restorative justice is a transformative approach to addressing deviant and criminal behavior through accountability and healing. While several studies examine legislation pertaining to the use of restorative justice programs for adults and juveniles, the implementation varies widely across states in terms of the types of services offered. A population that has been overlooked in restorative justice research and policy are emerging adults aged between 18 and 25. We drew on content analysis techniques to identify the extent to which restorative justice is offered to emerging adults across all 50 states and Washington DC. By exploring a wide range of services offered by the organizations within our limited sample, our findings contribute valuable knowledge on the ways in which restorative justice services engage in information sharing. Thus, improving our understanding on the accessibility of programs for emerging adults. |
