Restoratvie Program Network – good practice

• The pilot project was run by the Hungarian Probation Service in the capital. In the program juveniles and young adult offenders provided compensation to the community for the consequences of the crimes committed by them. In the general experience the direct results are palpable. The compensation stands in contrast with the committed crime. It can function as a mirror because the juveniles are able to experience directly how much harm, anger and work could be caused by their felony.

Community mediation in Nagybörzsöny

• Hungary is suffering of a large number of ethnic-based conflicts of which the majority involves Roma people. Recognising it as a serious problem, Foresee Research Group, together with its numerous consortium partners, has been running a three-month-long experimental project funded by the Hungarian Crime Prevention Board.
  The project combined community building and mediation methods in a small rural Hungarian village. Throughout the project we provided training for the local people, including: ‘tolerance’, ‘mediation’ and a so-called ‘implementation training’, namely how to locally implement the learnt techniques and apply them in a sustainable way; organised group activities for children, young mothers and local volunteers and offered ADR (alternative dispute resolution) services in which the trained local people participated as co-mediators besides our team’s mediators.

Crime prevention projects in 2006

• 'Loafers' – The prevention of juvenile delinquency among risk-prone youth in the suburbs of Pécs: The project aims at decreasing the number of young people (aged between 16 and 25, who are outside the formal education system and unemployed) who spend their spare time on the streets increasing the danger of them becoming juvenile criminals and victims. The number of acts of violence related to the consumption of alcohol and drugs (street robbery, breach of the peace, nuisance and assault) committed on the streets of two of Pécs’ suburbs by this group of young people has significantly increased in the last few years. A survey was conducted to identify the numbers and people at risk and the project established an early warning system for those at risk. This was supported by a network of youth work volunteers who organised and encouraged free-time activities and provided training related to drug and alcohol prevention, healthy lifestyle, self-esteem, and career counselling.
