CARISMA is a restitution program whereby juvenile offenders either compensate the victims of their crimes or render service to the community. Objectives of the program are (1) to help juvenile offenders become aware of and accept responsibility for their damage to others, (2) provide an alternative to institutionalization for juveniles, (3) help juveniles develop useful and marketable skills, (4) give victims participation in the rehabilitation process, and (5) increase confidence in the juvenile justice system. As of December 31, 1980, CARISMA has had 244 clients. The project has induced a significant number of juveniles to go back to school and to work. Clients have provided 24,043 hours of restitution services, of which 23,946 were for community services and the rest for victims. The value of the services is estimated at $72,129. Only 10 clients did not complete their restitution contracts, and 10 committed new offenses. Data indicate that CARISMA is meeting or surpassing its goals and objectives. Information is provided on the characteristics of the clients and the project management history. Also provided are statistical reports, a list of nonexpendable property purchased, the final financial report, and the evaluation and brochure of the program.
