O objetivo do texto é analisar a aplicação da justiça restaurativa como instrumento para promoção da justiça e segurança em infrações cometidas por de adolescentes.  A Justiça restaurativa oportuniza para o infrator a chance de perceber e ressignificar sua ação danosa, possibilitando a transformação de seus atos e a vivencia de uma nova realidade. Dentre as medidas socioeducativas aplicadas aos adolescentes infratores, a internação deveria ser medida excepcional, no entanto é a que possui maior aplicação. No caso de internação, a maioria dos adolescentes não recebem um tratamento adequado pois o modelo aplicado segue os parâmetros da justiça retributiva. A técnica de pesquisa foi a coleta de informações bibliográfica e legislativa, sendo que as ideias foram expressas e organizadas pela base lógica indutiva. Observou-se ao final que a justiça restaurativa apresenta potencial para modificar o atual modelo de justiça aplicado aos adolescentes infratores, na medida em que, além da punição, visa reparar o dano causado. Pela Justiça restaurativa busca-se, além da resolução e alcance da justiça, um caminho de efetividade, tanto para a vítima, quanto para o infrator. Palavras-chave: Justiça restaurativa; Adolescentes infratores; Responsabilidade. ABSTRACT: The objective of the text is to analyze the application of restorative justice as an instrument to promote justice and security in infractions committed by adolescents. Restorative justice gives the offender the chance to perceive and reframe his harmful action, enabling the transformation of his acts and the experience of a new reality. Among the socio-educational measures applied to adolescent offenders, detention should be an exceptional measure, however it is the one with the greatest application. In the case of detention, most adolescents do not receive adequate treatment because the model applied follows the parameters of retributive justice. The research technique was the collection of bibliographic and legislative information, and the ideas were expressed and organized by the inductive logical basis. At the end, it was observed that restorative justice has the potential to modify the current model of justice applied to adolescent offenders, in that, in addition to punishment, it aims to repair the damage caused. Restorative justice seeks, in addition to the resolution and scope of justice, a path of effectiveness, both for the victim and for the offender. Keywords: Restorative justice; Adolescent offenders; Responsibility.

This chapter considers two alternatives to punishment: diversion and restorative justice. It begins by looking at approaches to the delivery of criminal justice which challenge conventional assumptions about crime and punishment. It then traces the origins and development of restorative ideas and practices and goes on to discuss the emergence and impact of diversion as an intervention strategy; the purpose of alternatives to punishment and offence resolution; the structure, organisation, and operation of alternatives to punishment; and the achievements of alternatives to punishment. It also cites examples of the implementation of alternatives to punishment before concluding with an assessment of the limitations of alternatives to punishment.

In responding to youth crime, Canada makes disproportionate use of courts and custodial sentences, while other countries divert more youth from the formal justice system and make greater use of community-based responses. This article surveys diversion from the youth courts under the different youth justice regimes that have existed in Canada, including informal and formal screening, police and Crown cautions, and use of youth justice committees and conferencing. The newly enacted Youth Criminal Justice Act is intended to encourage greater use of these diversionary "extrajudicial measures," and more use of a "restorative justice " approach to cases. A major limitation is that these provisions are permissive, and create no new legal rights for youths and impose no new obligations on governments. It will be up to provincial governments to decide whether to allow police, prosecutors and local program operators to actually implement these provisions. Further, depending on how these provisions are implemented, there are legitimate concerns about the potential for these informal responses to abuse the rights of youths or ignore the needs of victims. There should be both monitoring of the implementation of these provisions and research to determine how effective they are at reducing offending, and meeting the needs of victims, offenders and communities.
