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.
