• W41906713 abstract "After a few drinks, you could count on Joseph Minotti to climb into his car and become a highway menace. For the better part of a decade, Minotti routinely drove in Genesee County, New York, while under the influence of alcohol. Six times he was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI). Law enforcement officials had fined him, jailed him, and revoked his driverAEs license. Minotti simply forged another license and got back on the road. Following his seventh arrest, Minotti was charged with felony DWI and faced three to seven years in prison if convicted. But the presiding judge wasnAEt convinced that time in a cell would produce a change in attitude. He recommended Minotti for the countyAEs pre-trial diversion program. This was no cream-puff experiment in alternative sentencing. Deputy sheriffs made unannounced visits to his home. Counselors dropped by to see how he was doing and to conduct random urine tests. For six months, from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day, Minotti was under house arrest. Even MinottiAEs waking hours were carefully regulated. He was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service for the American Red Cross. He attended two Alcoholics Anonymous meetings per week, joined individual and group counseling, met weekly with a minister, and attended victim-impact meetings at Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). The sheriffAEs office sent monthly progress reports to the judge, the district attorney, MinottiAEs lawyer, and the president of MADD. The countyAEs plan paid off. I would like to apologize to the community of western New York for my conduct over the past 10 years, Minotti said in a statement released to local newspapers. I have finally turned my life around. Minotti, who now runs a business in nearby Erie County, has been law-abiding for the past seven years. Genesee CountyAEs felony diversion track is part of an unorthodox crime strategy that is rattling both conservative and liberal assumptions about crime and punishment. Under the Genesee Justice program, justice may not mean jail time; but neither will it endorse rehabilitation programs that refuse to engage an offenderAEs conscience. Run by the sheriffAEs office in Batavia, the effort unites county judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officials with one objective: to devise punishments that make criminals personally responsible for their misdeeds--both to their victims and their communities. Judges usually take the route of least risk, says Douglas Call, a former county sheriff and an early advocate of the program. And the least risk is to throw people in jail. But if the sanction of society is simply incarceration, offenders will go back to the same behavior. In Genesee County, the aim of punishment is not merely punitive, but restorative: to help repair the harm done to victims and their families. So while traditional sentencing relies heavily on jail time and probation, the county emphasizes restitution and community-based service. While most judges, lawyers, and prosecutors quietly cut backroom deals--shutting victims out of the negotiations--Genesee offers intensive victim assistance and involvement in nearly all phases of the judicial process. While most jurisdictions typically forbid contact between offenders and their victims, Genesee arranges face-to-face meetings to promote reconciliation. Advocates call these efforts restorative justice, a religiously rooted philosophy that redefines crime as an offense not primarily against the state but against human beings. Defenders of the current system think violating the law is the problem, says Karen Strong, co-author of Restoring Justice. is, but only because there is a violation of a person in the community. In the Hebrew tradition, crime is understood as a breach of shalom, or the sense of wholeness between individuals, the community, and God. It is time, supporters say, to make the restoration of the crime victim a central objective of criminal-justice reform. …" @default.
