Impact of the Interinstitutional Program of Attention and Comprehensive Development of Adolescents and Youth, for the promotion of a culture of peace in Nicaraguan, as part of the restorative Juvenile Justice Model

Abstract

This article has a purpose to portray the impact that the "Interinstitutional Program for Attention and Comprehensive Development of Adolescents and Youth, for the promotion of a Culture of Peace" has had. This program is part of the Restorative Justice model applied in Nicaragua and is contemplated within the Public policies directed to youth and adolescents. Restorative Juvenile Justice is also known as conciliatory, restorative or restorative. It is intended that adolescents who violate the law reestablish the broken social bond and reinsert themselves socially. The system mainly applies socio-educational measures. In this sense, it is important to note that restorative justice is a complement and not a replacement for the conventional justice system. To strengthen our work we present a statistical analysis. Interviews were conducted with members of the National Police, in order to learn about the program's strategies and the implementation of restorative justice in Nicaragua. Finally we present our thoughts on the subject.
