Lakes Area Restorative Justice Project LARJP is a community directed, operated, and supported nonprofit organization in Crow Wing County whose mission is to restore community

What We Do:
Referrals come from law enforcement in the form of a report describing the behavior and the parties involved including those responsible, those harmed (victims) and those witnessing the behavior. Offending youth are referred to LARJP rather than to court. In some cases the courts refer youth to LARJP as a part of their sentence.

Lakes Area Restorative Justice Project is a community directed, operated, and supported nonprofit organization in Crow Wing County whose mission is to restore community by involving juveniles who have caused harm, the people who were harmed, and local citizens in a process which addresses the needs of the victim, holds the youth accountable for restoration, and promotes healing for all.

General information

LARJP's goals are to : 1. Enable those victimized to express their feelings about the impact of the harmful behavior, to get answers to questions regarding the incident and to have an active voice in the outcome. 2. Help offenders to understand the true impact of their actions on the victim(s), their family(s), and their community. 3. Hold offenders accountable for the harm they have caused in a direct and timely manner. 4. Involve and engage the community in finding solutions to behaviors that cause harm.

The Process of LARJP:

1. A victim, offender, or community member first expresses an interest in resolving harm that someone has done to the community or to its members.

2. All interested in participating are contacted to explain the purpose of the conference, gather information about the impact of the offense, and to listen to concerns and interests.

3. If appropriate, the facilitators will arrange a conference at a time and place convenient to all parties; the victim(s), the offender(s), family member(s), and other community members.

4. Participants have the opportunity to ask questions and express their feelings regarding the offender's harmful behavior. Offenders are able to see and hear the true impact of their actions.

5. The conference ends when all participants agree on how to repair the harm and address circumstances that led to the harmful behavior.

6. LARJP monitors this agreement and then sends a completion report to the referring authority.
