| Abstract: |
|
As probation officers, our duty is first and foremost, to seek the young offender's treatment and rehabilitation. For it is agreed that the offender's reintegration into a normative lifestyle is of utmost importance.
We looked for rehabilitation strategy and technique that, while giving due weight to the perpetrator and his deed, would also avoid the sense of his feeling a victim and encourage him to shoulder responsibility for the harm he has done. In 1992, we decided to start a project whereby the offender is brought face to face wit his victim, in order to make an attempt at a two-way mediation.
