The Juvenile Restorative Justice Project To whom it may concern, It is our pleasure to send you the proposal for Stephen Robbins to join The Juvenile Restorative Justice Project that has started in 2005, and has sponsored more than 320 teenagers, from 12 to 17 years old, in the districts of El Agustino (Lima) and José Leonardo

Ortiz

(Chiclayo),

using

this

alternative

Justice

model,

looking

for

reintegration and support from the society, organizations, families and the victim, instead of the regular Justice Model. Encuentros and Tierra de Hombres created The Juvenile Restorative Justice Project in January 2005, after two years of research of the Peruvian Justice Model. The research let them know more about the ‘Justice Operators’ (Polices, Prosecutors, Lawyers and Judges) and the ‘Social Operators’ (Psychologists, Social Workers) interested in find other solutions for Juvenile Delinquency. The Project have been developed in two different places for the following reasons: a) El Agustino (Lima) and José Leonardo Ortiz (Chiclayo) are districts with more than 100 thousand neighbours, b) Problems with Juvenile Delinquency, c) These districts has decentralized offices of the Court and d) Their communities are always involved. Stephen, will work in the office of José Leonardo Ortiz in Chiclayo, under the supervision of the staff of Encuentros.
