Childhood victimization occurs everywhere: in homes, kindergartens and schools, in state‐care institutions, neighborhoods, workplaces, and online. The most vulnerable children are least likely to disclose their victimization and see their cases prosecuted. Restorative justice (RJ) offers an alternative way for addressing criminality. It promotes accountability and reparation, without the debilitating effects of incarceration. RJ places victims at the center and enables them to communicate with perpetrators, usually with state monitoring. Recent decades have seen the widespread use of RJ worldwide. Yet, despite indications that RJ reduces violent crime, most programs target cases involving misdemeanors, juveniles, and first‐time offenders. Childhood victimization has generally been left outside the scope of RJ programs, apart from juvenile offending, where the main goal is offender rehabilitation. Consequently, when the victim is a child, the promise of RJ to give victims a voice is often unfulfilled. The high rates of childhood victimization and the shortcomings of criminal justice systems in prosecuting such crimes highlight the need for child‐inclusive RJ programs targeting crimes against children. The present article reviews findings from the fields of RJ, children's rights, psychology, and victimology. Through integrating these practices and approaches, it proposes a set of standards for developing child‐inclusive RJ programs.

制定包容儿童的恢复性司法标准

儿童受害现象无处不在：家庭，幼儿园和学校，州立医疗机构，社区，工作场所和在线。最弱势的儿童最不可能透露自己的受害情况并看到他们的案件受到起诉。恢复性司法（RJ）为解决犯罪提供了另一种方法。它促进了责任感和赔偿，而没有监禁的破坏性影响。RJ将受害者置于中心，使他们能够与肇事者进行通信，通常是通过状态监视。近几十年来，RJ在全球范围内得到了广泛的使用。然而，尽管有迹象表明RJ减少了暴力犯罪，但大多数程序还是针对轻罪，少年和初犯的案件。儿童受害通常被排除在RJ计划的范围之外，除了少年犯以外，主要目标是罪犯的康复。因此，当受害者是个孩子时，RJ向受害者表达声音的诺言常常无法兑现。儿童期受害率很高，而刑事司法系统在起诉此类犯罪方面的缺陷凸显出需要针对儿童犯罪的包容儿童的责任感项目。本文回顾了RJ，儿童权利，心理学和受害者学等领域的发现。通过整合这些实践和方法，它提出了一套开发儿童包容性RJ计划的标准。儿童期受害率很高，而刑事司法系统在起诉此类犯罪方面的缺陷突出表明，需要针对儿童犯罪的包容儿童的责任感项目。本文回顾了RJ，儿童权利，心理学和受害者学等领域的发现。通过整合这些实践和方法，它提出了一套开发儿童包容性RJ计划的标准。儿童期受害率很高，而刑事司法系统在起诉此类犯罪方面的缺陷凸显出需要针对儿童犯罪的包容儿童的责任感项目。本文回顾了RJ，儿童权利，心理学和受害者学等领域的发现。通过整合这些实践和方法，它提出了一套开发儿童包容性RJ计划的标准。
