The Colorado Restorative Justice Coordinating Council (RJ Council) oversaw the development and implementation of a statewide juvenile restorative justice program funded by House Bill 13-1254. The program began as a pilot focused on programs serving youth in pre-file juvenile diversion and transitioned to a grant program to fund additional restorative programs to serve youth in diversion.
OMNI led the evaluation of the juvenile restorative justice program since its inception and focused on services provided to youth in the diversion program and youth referred as a result of a school-based offense that could otherwise have resulted in a charge. Data presented to the Council included information on youth background and demographics; short-term psychosocial outcomes, satisfaction of victims, offending youth and community members, and recidivism rates.
