This study examined the ways that local law practitioners practice restorative justice; it also sought to establish the difficulties and problems in the process of practicing restorative justice, to consider how restorative justice can be applied in preventive policy and juvenile criminal justice organizations, and to review suggestions on policy, organization, human resources, information and ordinances concerning juvenile crimes. Methodologically, this study used archival analysis within-depth interviews. In addition to examining background published materials, the author interviewed 21 practitioners from juvenile justice related areas in northern Taiwan region, including courtroom personnel, judges from Juvenile & Family Department of Judicial Yuan, judges, prosecutor, investigation officers and probation officers from Juvenile Division, police officers and juvenile behavioral counselors and coaches. Results among court staff suggest: a) Court clerks found restorative justice acceptable, and have seen such negotiations and conferencing proceeded, although, the absence of ‘restorative justice’ in the current ordinances prevents further realization of its future practices, and also allows victims' absence in courtrooms. b) Juvenile court sees Juvenile Guidance Committee as their platform for communication. c) Even though judges are entrusted with the rights in handling juvenile crimes, community restorative boards or other similar institutions are expected to take the role of judges when public ideas of restorative justice mature. d) With limited social resources, in addition to poorly informed practitioners, more carefully planned integration of both is needed in the practice of restorative practice. e) Restorative justice is an idea that is widely accepted in Taiwan, but there are factors that would act as obstacles: our current justice system has not fully caught up with the idea of 'restoration', police officers are not empowered in full, not enough people know of the central tenets of restorative justice, lack of government support, lack of a comprehensive will among institutions and the lack of cooperation from parents and litigants. Results among police suggest: a) There has been wide acceptance of restorative justice among police officers, and likewise practices have been applied, but legitimacy may be lacking if further ordinance amendments are not proceeded with to acknowledge officers powers. b) Police officers see Juvenile Guidance Committee as their platform for communication. c) With multiple roles entrusted to them, police officers work as law executors, care-givers, counselors, educators and protectors at the same time, but their knowledge of law and psychological counseling needs further improvement. d) With limited social resources, in addition to the poorly informed practitioners, more carefully planned integration of both is needed when putting restorative in practice. e) Restorative justice is an idea that is widely accepted in Taiwan, but there are factors that would act as obstacles (similar to court staff). Results in relation to social workers and correction staff suggest: a) they are positive about restorative justice, they argue that administrative efforts should precede any legal measures. They also argue for the importance of having faith in the innate goodness of people. b) Juvenile Guidance Committee should be treated as the platform for coordination amongst communities. c) Personnel in these institutes are equipped with coordination ability in communities but there are not fully informed about legal ordinances. Therefore, restorative conferencing is better entrusted to courtrooms. d) With limited social resources, in addition to the poorly informed practitioners, more carefully planned integration of both is needed when putting restorative in practice. e) Restorative justice is an idea that is widely accepted in Taiwan, but they identify similar ‘obstacle’ factors as court staff.
