"This document is the final evaluation report of the results of the Community Boards of San Francisco's Community Involvement in Mediation of First and Second Time Juvenile Offenders Project (Project). The purpose of the Project is to reduce the number of repeat offenses by youths who come to the attention of the San Francisco Juvenile Court, as well as to reduce court costs, through mediation of the appropriate cases by trained community volunteers. ... Included in this report are a process evaluation and an impact evaluation. The process evaluation was carried out primarily through interviews with key actors ... and through the review of relevant Project documentation. The impact evaluation involved a comparison between cases in the experimental group (Community Boards mediation) and cases in the comparison group (traditional juvenile justice processing). ... Results of the Project review, although mixed, reveal that the Project has proven to be an effective way of handling disputes between specified juvenile offenders and their victims" (Taken from Abstract). The document also includes recommendations as a result of the Project.
