Summary

Milosavljevic, Slobodan (2004). Conflict resolution at the Juvenile Correctional Institution in Krusevac, Serbia. London, England: Restorative Justice Consortium. Downloaded 23 August 2005.

Conflicts between inmates at JCIK are frequent due to low level security; these can result in serious consequences including: serious damage to property, bodily injuries, self-harming, suicide attempts and suicide. Originally these acts resulted in disciplinary measures such as loosing privileges or being sent to ‘confinement’ rooms. Now such conflicts (where both parties agree) are dealt with using methods of resolution specifically tailored to JCIK. Due to the nature of the majority of the incidents at JCIK, and the fact that staff often find both parties are causing harm to one another, ‘mediation in conflicts’ is suggested as a more appropriate term.
