State News State forces teens to atone for crimes Half of Oregon’s counties have programs requiring teenage offenders to apologize to their victims The Associated Press DALLAS—When Hannah Flug went joyriding with friends to Cal ifornia in a stolen Thunderbird, she figured she might land in de tention if caught. The 14-year-old not only got de tention , but a judge ordered her to do something she dreaded even more: apologize to the owners of the car. She cried. “I would do community ser vice, detention, anything,” said Hannah, now 16. ‘‘1 just didn’t want to see these people. It would be so embarrassing.” The meeting taught Hannah that her weekend of fun had cost a family more than $5,000 in dam ages and losses and had broken their sense of security. But most of all, it forced Hannah to take responsibility forhercrime. “It really made me realize what I had done and what kind of people I was hanging out with,” she said. “It made me understand what these people went through.” As court counselors try to keep teenagers from repeating their crimes, they are turning to ideas such as the program in Polk Coun ty. It was one of the first in Oregon to bring teenagers and their victims together. Half the state’s counties now have similar programs. “For a lot of crime victims, having a face-to-face meeting with the kids is helpful," says Gail Lambert, an ad vocate for victims of juvenile offend ers in Multnomah County. “They find out the kids aren’t lit tle evil beings, that they did some thing stupid, and maybe they’re sor ry, and maybe they feel stupid.” Juvenile intake officers review cases and recommend teenagers for the program, which can cost about $220 — less than the minimum $1,500 expense of winding a case through court, according to Sandie Pattison,the program’s director. The teenagers who are accepted first meet with a program media tor and then, if the victim agrees, they meet, Teens also must pay for their damages and perform community service. Polk County doesn’t track the teenagers once they’ve completed the program, though an informal study found that 94 percent didn’t commit another crime in the next three years. Hannah’s mother believes the program will keep her daughter from committing another crime. “Meeting with her victims taught her much more than any thing that I could tell her,” Prindi Flug said.
