      Balanced and Restorative Justice (BARJ)

      BARJ is a systemic program model that works in schools and justice systems

      BARJ, developed by Dennis Maloney was originally conceived of as two triangles.

       

      BARJ 1

       

      This framework provides 3 variables:

       

        Accountability Protection Competency
      Community   Protection of the Community  
      Victim   Protection of the Victim  
      Offender Accountability of the Offender   Competency Development of the Offender

       

      Dr. Derek Cabrera reconceptualized these two triangles as being integrated. 

       

      BARJ 2

       

        Accountability Protection Competency
      Community Accountability of the Community Protection of the Community Competency Development of the Community
      Victim Accountability of the Victim Protection of the Victim Competency Development of the Victim
      Offender Accountability of the Offender Protection of the Offender Competency Development of the Offender

       

      The number of variables of the integrated model is 9. This integration makes a significant difference in the ways that BARJ are implemented. CRL has worked with schools and justice departments to implement BARJ policies and practices such as FGC and Victim-Offender Mediation. Contact us to learn how.
