My survey among board members displays a notable uncertainty regarding appropriate instant reactions as well as rather varied connotations of how restorative character should be understood in this context. Furthermore, so far instant reactions are very rarely used by the boards.
Board members and management suggest that the restorative aspect of the board can be understood as a wider restoration of the young offenders' lives by engaging them in a meaningful plan to avoid reoffending. However, based on my observations of board meetings I conclude that overall, with the current framework and approaches the boards are not succesful in engaging the young offenders in a restorative way.
The Danish political level displays dissatisfaction with the limited usage of instant reactions to date. Initiatives are on the way to address this point, including a catalogue of ideas for possible instant reactions. I question whether this approach will actually take the practice of the boards in a more restorative direction. Instead, I suggest looking towards Norway for inspiration on this matter.
