The rehabilitation process is a process designed to do exactly that. To begin with, a young offender is so egocentric and primary in the way they function that the victim doesn't figure in their concerns, other than because they were arrested. So the rehabilitation process means that along the way, gradually, they can start to open up to other people and realize that other people exist, and develop a capacity in terms of social skills, the capacity to put themselves in someone else's shoes. When they are able to do that, they are ready to embark on a process with the victim. The processes involving the victim can be part of alternative justice projects, where there is incredible creativity. If the offence is relatively minor, say, a young person who did something stupid that had much more serious consequences than they thought, that young person will be sensitive, and in many cases meeting or working with the victim will in itself be an extremely rewarding rehabilitation exercise, and, I would also say, an exercise in education and maturity for the young person.
However, for a young person who is a very disturbed repeat offender, it will take several weeks, several months, before they show any concern for the victim, and that is where something can be done with the victim. That is why I said a few minutes ago that the process with the victim can take place during or afterward, at the end of the rehabilitation process. It requires a certain amount of time to be done.
