In the youth offender pathway described, which activity is included along with community service and drug and alcohol education?

• A. Attending a sports program
• B. Travel abroad
• C. Interview with the person she stole from
• D. Fines payment

Answer: (C)

Restorative justice and accountability are being emphasized. In many youth offender pathways, the plan isn’t just about doing community service or learning about drugs and alcohol; it also includes a direct step to address the harm done. An interview with the person she stole from lets the offender hear the impact of her actions, take responsibility, and discuss how to repair the harm. This fits the rehabilitative approach by connecting the offense to real-world consequences and encouraging restitution and empathy. The other options don’t target repairing the harm in the same way: a sports program supports positive activity, travel abroad isn’t related to the offense, and paying fines is a punishment rather than a restorative step.
