Per un penale minorile partecipato:il modello delle Family group conference

[Autom. eng. transl.] In the context of social work with child offenders, a relevant topic is the participation of children and young people in the decision-making processes that concern them and that produce significant changes in their growth path. Another important aspect for those working in this field is working with the family. The crime, albeit in terms of subjective and legal responsibilities, concerns exclusively the minor, in reality, both in the causes (without generalizing) and in the consequences, has a reverberation. The model of the Restorative Justice Family group conference (RJFGC), which embraces a participatory logic, favors a greater role for the boy who committed the crime in the definition of the "test" project. Finally, it offers the whole family a chance to work on the broader purpose of the child's well-being, outlining an educational framework that is better able to protect the child and accompany him in his growth.
