RJ City SM Case Study
When Ed and David Broke into Mildred’s House
and Took Things
A Story about RJ City’s Response to Crime, Victims and Offenders
One afternoon two young men broke into a house, ransacked it and took small valuables they could easily sell.
This is the story of those two men, the woman who lived in the house, and how RJ City responded to all of them. RJ CitySM is creating a
system that will allow it to respond as restoratively as possible to all crimes, all victims and all offenders.
In the course of this story you will meet family members and friends of all three. You will see how the crime had effects that went
beyond the harm to the immediate victim.
And you will observe how RJ City’sSM response is different from contemporary criminal justice.
Features
Some of the unique features that you will notice in this Case Study include:
Restorative processes such
as circles are routinely
used.
Victim support is
offered from the
moment a crime
takes place.

3. RJ Citysm is a work in progress, which means that this Case Study is as well. For more
information about the features of RJ City’ssm response to crime that are reflected in this
example, please refer to RJ Citysm: Phase 1 Final Report [http://rjcity.org/the-project/1_Final]. If
you have comments, criticisms or suggestions, please offer them. As we learn more, we may
modify this story.
4. This is the October 2009 version.
2. This story is fictional and not based on any particular crime or people. However, it reflects only
one set of facts and individuals. Other scenarios for use in simulations are available for
classroom and other use. These encourage creative application of restorative principles to
difficult issues. You can find those, and other RJ Citysm materials, at www.rjcity.org.
Notes
1. This story has happy endings. This is not because that always happens in restorative
processes, although there are more happy endings than in contemporary criminal justice. This
story has happy endings because RJ Citysm does not give up on people. The story is never
considered complete until the ending is satisfying, if not happy.

Introduction:
A Good Samaritan is someone who voluntarily chooses to offer aid to someone who is injured or having an emergency. Some states actually have Good Samaritan laws to protect those who volunteer to render aid and consider it an act of negligence to not at least make a call for help. Good Samaritan laws vary by state but many offer immunity. Under the Good Samaritan laws which grant immunity, if the Good Samaritan makes an error while rendering emergency medical care, he or she cannot be held legally liable for damages in court. However, two conditions usually must be met; 1) the aid must be given at the scene of the emergency, and. 2) if the "volunteer" has other motives, such as the hope of being paid a fee or reward, then the law will not apply (US Legal, 2012).
NYPD Officer’s Random Act of Kindness Goes Viral
NYPD Officer on and he was still cold. With that the Good Samaritan officer went to a nearby shoe store and purchased the boots and socks with the store manager’s employee discount bringing the total price to $75; however, the act was priceless.
NYPD Officer Larry DePrimo was caught on camera without knowing displaying a random act of kindness to a homeless man, on one cold day in November, 2012. The woman who posted the picture on Facebook was visiting New York from Florence, Arizona when she witnessed the act by Officer DePrimo who presented a pair of boots and thermal socks to a homeless man who was sitting on the street with blisters on his feet. The witness; Jennifer Foster, who also works in law enforcement as a civilian communications Director for the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, in Arizona was so impressed by the act that she stated “she had to bring attention to the policeman’s random act of kindness.” This selfless act by Officer DePrimo was done out of the goodness of his heart, with only the concern for the man who was on the streets of New York in the dead of winter without the proper attire to keep warm. Jennifer Foster witnessed and wrote that Officer DePrimo after presenting the man with the all-weather boots and thermal socks; the officer squatted down on the ground and proceed to then help place the socks and boots on the man’s feet. Once the story was released and Officer DePrimo was asked about the act the officer humbly stated “I didn’t think anything of it!” (N.Y. Times, 2012) Officer DePrimo also stated that he had two pair of sock on and he was still cold. With that the Good Samaritan officer went to a nearby shoe store and purchased the boots and socks with the store manager’s employee discount bringing the total price ...
Juvenile delinquents are typically minors between 10-18 years old who have committed acts that violate the law. They are not given the same punishments as adults. There is debate around whether delinquent behavior is due to innate evilness or environmental/societal factors. Parents play an important role in preventing delinquency through teaching children right from wrong, but some argue delinquency is due to peer pressure or natural predisposition. Living in an environment where crime is present increases the chances a juvenile will engage in delinquent acts.
The document discusses the roles of prosecutors in multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) that address elder abuse. It provides an overview of common misconceptions about prosecutors, how elder abuse cases are investigated, and the factors prosecutors consider in deciding whether to file charges. The presentation also highlights the benefits of prosecutors collaborating with other disciplines on MDTs and provides an example of a successful elder abuse prosecution involving such collaboration.
The document discusses the key elements of involuntary manslaughter, including gross negligence and constructive act manslaughter. It provides examples of cases and asks questions to test the reader's understanding of distinguishing between constructive acts, gross negligence, duties of care, breaches that cause death, and what constitutes grossly negligent actions. It aims to consolidate knowledge of this area of criminal law.

Here are the key steps for conducting a completely randomized factorial ANOVA on the reading speed data from Table 16.4.2 in the textbook:
1. State the null and alternative hypotheses for each main effect and interaction. For example, the null hypothesis for the main effect of font would be that there is no difference in mean reading speed across the different fonts.
2. Calculate the sum of squares for each effect. This involves determining the treatment totals, grand mean, and deviations from the grand mean for each cell.
3. Divide each sum of squares by the corresponding mean square error term to calculate the F-ratios. The mean square error is the sum of squares for error divided by the appropriate degrees of freedom.

Riverbend City: Human Services Policy Outcome
You have viewed and considered the social change controversy in the Riverbend City: Human Services Policy Outcome multimedia presentation. Discuss your proposal for an acceptable policy outcome from a human services professional's perspective. Your perspective may be different from the Riverbend City community members, but take into account who defined the problem, how the policy was developed, and which entity was or should be charged with implementing the agreed-upon policy. What would be the possible consequences, from a human services professional's point of view, if no policy was developed? Who would be the winners and losers if the policy is implemented?
The information below is what you will need to read to complete the above discussion.
Proposed women’s shelter in Lindner Hills
From: Adele Walker, Chief of Staff, Mayor’s Office
To: You
I’m glad you’re going to be working on the issue of the proposed women’s shelter in the Lindner Hills neighborhood. Here’s some background on the issue that might help.
The proposed women’s shelter has met resistance by neighbors and business owners in this largely affluent neighborhood. A big part of that is because of a halfway house that used to be located in Lindner Hills. This halfway house, which housed nonviolent former prisoners who were in the process of reintegrating into society, was located in a residential neighborhood near an elementary school. After some problems and a good deal of neighborhood resistance, the city relocated the halfway house a few months ago. Because this happened so recently, some people in the neighborhood are very hesitant about the proposed women’s shelter.
There are several points of contention that I’d like to point out. One issue: we’re not releasing the address of the proposed shelter. That’s protocol when it comes to women’s shelters to prevent domestic abusers from locating the people who are fleeing them. I can tell you confidentially that the proposed shelter is located in a large home that is only blocks away from the former halfway house, and even closer to the elementary school. The other point of contention is that unlike many emergency shelters for domestic abuse victims, we are discussing the possibility of allowing families to stay for months or more if necessary. Neighbors are concerned about the impact this may have on the local schools.
A big part of the problem is this: the city does not have a policy in place for determining where to put shelters and how to address neighborhood concerns involving these shelters. Here’s what I’d like for you to do: first, I have some documents I’d like for you to read to get more background information on this issue. Then, I’d like for you to attend an upcoming town hall about this issue. Listen to what neighbors and others have to say.

The document discusses how Frank Lloyd Wright and Wim Delvoye integrate visual art and construction. Wright's Fallingwater building blends art and construction by incorporating the natural surroundings into the architectural design. Delvoye's Caterpillar 5bis artwork uses construction as a medium by building a structure out of materials. Both artists demonstrate how visual art and construction can intersect, though their styles differ.
The document discusses interpersonal conflicts portrayed in the television show The Big Bang Theory. Specifically, it analyzes an episode where Leonard was in college and a girl he thought was his girlfriend ended up going to another guy. The summary argues this conflict arose due to a lack of communication between Leonard and the girl about their feelings for each other from the beginning. It states the situation could have been dealt with differently if they both communicated openly about their feelings and relationship status to avoid misunderstandings. Effective communication is presented as key to properly handling conflicts and improving relationship quality.

Part 1: SQL/Database work
Scenario
Development of a relational database system for a food producing company
FoodRU is a Leicester-based food producing company. The company wants to keep details regarding both past and present employees and their assignment to shifts over time. At present, there are three defined shift patterns; the morning shift starts at 6am and finishes at 2pm, the day shift starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm, and the evening shift starts at 4pm and finishes at 12am (midnight). However, management have already indicated that they may need to add further shift patterns in the future (e.g., by adding a night shift to the existing ones so that the company can meet a high user demand for their foods). They therefore require shift details to be stored within a separate Shift table, with attributes that allow the storage of a shift name with its associated start and finish times (use the 24 hour clock for these times).
Past and present employee details are to be kept in the same Employee table, and the details to be kept are the employee’s unique 6 digit reference number, the first name, surname and any other names (if there are any) of the employee, the employee’s gender, contact address and contact telephone, the date on which the employee started his/her employment at the company and the date on which the employee finished his/her employment at the company (should s/he be a past employee). Details regarding staff assignments to shifts include the date that an employee was allocated to work a particular shift, and the date that s/he was taken off the shift (if not still assigned to it). Employees can be assigned to different shifts over time and even to the same shift over different time periods, although they cannot be assigned to more than one shift at any one time. A new employee may not yet be assigned to a shift.
Tasks:
1. Provide the table specifications for the THREE tables that are required by FoodRU to store employee, shift and assignment details. That is, for each of the three tables, you should provide, in a suitable presentation format, the name of the table and a specification of each its attributes to include:
• Attribute name
• Attribute brief description as to its meaning
• a description of the attribute’s data type/integrity (e.g., date field, character field of length 20, number field <= 10, etc. – you can use the Oracle data types within these descriptions if you want to)

I think that with regulation of the mosquito communities would be a good thing. Mosquitos carry many dangerous diseases and if we can lower the population we can slow the rate of transmission of these diseases. This could save many many lives around the world. I would be hesitant though to release the genetically engineered mosquitos into the environment. In the article I read they releases sterile male mosquitos into the environment. This I feel is a safer way to regulate because we are not altering any genes we are just regulating a naturally occurring issue in nature. Sterile males cannot pass on the genes and also male mosquitos are not the ones who would be likely to pass on the diseases. The article stated that only females bite and therefore males would not be capable of spreading the diseases. With sterile males being released there will be less mosquitos due to lack of repopulation. This will still allow organisms relying on mosquitos for food to still be able to survive with less risk to humans. They are an invasive species so it would help to eliminate the spread of mosquitos to different areas. This will keep the spread of disease throughout areas. I do not think it is right to alter the genes for human use though. It is not how nature had intended. If the gene pops up naturally in the population then it should not be taken out but we should not introduce it due to humans "playing God" with genetics.

Parent Involvement Plan
This week you will create a Parent Involvement Plan in response to the following scenario:
Imagine you are working with infant, toddler and preschool aged children in a child care center. The majority of the children has special needs and receives early intervention or are on an IEP. Many of the children’s parents work two jobs and have a difficult time participating in the center's activities. Whenever the center plans an event, the parental involvement is lower than desired. The center has tried to increase parental involvement through such methods as calling to remind parents and sending home notices, but is not having any luck.
Your assignment is to create a Parental Involvement Plan to encourage better participation from parents. Follow these steps to develop your plan:
Step 1:
Identify the issue, discuss your beliefs about the situation, and formulate conclusions and offer suggestions to the director of the child care center.
Step 2:
Create a Parent Involvement Plan that your director can copy and paste into the employee and parent handbook. Your plan should include:
The importance of early intervention and individual educational plans
Ways to assist students and their families
The importance of parent involvement
Please use the template provided and your rubric as your guide to completing this assignment.

Part 1: SQL/Database work
Scenario
Development of a relational database system for a food producing company
FoodRU is a Leicester-based food producing company. The company wants to keep details regarding both past and present employees and their assignment to shifts over time. At present, there are three defined shift patterns; the morning shift starts at 6am and finishes at 2pm, the day shift starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm, and the evening shift starts at 4pm and finishes at 12am (midnight). However, management have already indicated that they may need to add further shift patterns in the future (e.g., by adding a night shift to the existing ones so that the company can meet a high user demand for their foods). They therefore require shift details to be stored within a separate Shift table, with attributes that allow the storage of a shift name with its associated start and finish times (use the 24 hour clock for these times).
Past and present employee details are to be kept in the same Employee table, and the details to be kept are the employee’s unique 6 digit reference number, the first name, surname and any other names (if there are any) of the employee, the employee’s gender, contact address and contact telephone, the date on which the employee started his/her employment at the company and the date on which the employee finished his/her employment at the company (should s/he be a past employee). Details regarding staff assignments to shifts include the date that an employee was allocated to work a particular shift, and the date that s/he was taken off the shift (if not still assigned to it). Employees can be assigned to different shifts over time and even to the same shift over different time periods, although they cannot be assigned to more than one shift at any one time. A new employee may not yet be assigned to a shift.
Tasks:
1. Provide the table specifications for the THREE tables that are required by FoodRU to store employee, shift and assignment details. That is, for each of the three tables, you should provide, in a suitable presentation format, the name of the table and a specification of each its attributes to include:
• Attribute name
• Attribute brief description as to its meaning
• a description of the attribute’s data type/integrity (e.g., date field, character field of length 20, number field <= 10, etc. – you can use the Oracle data types within these descriptions if you want to)
• An indication as to whether the attribute is a primary key attribute and/or foreign key attribute
• An indication as to whether the attribute can or cannot take null values
Make sure your design specifies the appropriate links between the three tables. Remember to write down any additional integrity you need to enforce either at a specific table level or across two or more tables, if this is required. Also, remember to write down any justifications for the data types/integrity or for any other design features that.

Many of the children’s parents work two jobs and have a difficult time participating in the center's activities. Whenever the center plans an event, the parental involvement is lower than desired. The center has tried to increase parental involvement through such methods as calling to remind parents and sending home notices, but is not having any luck.
Your assignment is to create a Parental Involvement Plan to encourage better participation from parents. Follow these steps to develop your plan:
Step 1:
Identify the issue, discuss your beliefs about the situation, and formulate conclusions and offer suggestions to the director of the child care center.
Step 2:
Create a Parent Involvement Plan that your director can copy and paste into the employee and parent handbook. Your plan should include:
The importance of early intervention and individual educational plans
Ways to assist students and their families
The importance of parent involvement
Please use the template provided and your rubric as your guide to completing this assignment.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. RJ City SM Case Study
When Ed and David Broke into Mildred’s House
and Took Things
A Story about RJ City’s Response to Crime, Victims and
Offenders
One afternoon two young men broke into a house, ransacked it
and took small valuables they could easily sell.
This is the story of those two men, the woman who lived in the
house, and how RJ City responded to all of them. RJ CitySM is
creating a
system that will allow it to respond as restoratively as possible
to all crimes, all victims and all offenders.
In the course of this story you will meet family members and
friends of all three. You will see how the crime had effects that
went
beyond the harm to the immediate victim.
And you will observe how RJ City’sSM response is different
from contemporary criminal justice.
Features
Some of the unique features that you will notice in this Case
Study include:
Restorative processes such
as circles are routinely
used.

offered from the

Notes
1. This story has happy endings. This is not because that always
happens in restorative
processes, although there are more happy endings than in
contemporary criminal justice. This
story has happy endings because RJ Citysm does not give up on
people. The story is never
considered complete until the ending is satisfying, if not happy.

The Break-In
One afternoon,
two young men
knocked on the
door of a home.
5. Getting no
answer, they
broke in. They
moved quickly
through the
house, looking for
small items they
could carry easily.
“Let’s get out of here,” one of them said,
stuffing the last of the loot in his pocket.
They never thought about who lived in
the house, or how those people would
feel when they got back home.
They found
what they
were
looking for
in the back
bedroom.
They
ransacked
the room,
grabbing
things they
could fence.
“All right,” said the
other, pulling a watch
out of a drawer. They

house
and ran
down
the
street.
Mildred owns the house and has lived
alone for two years since her husband
died.
The day of the
burglary she
was visiting her
daughter, Betty.
When Betty
drove her home,
they saw the

While Officer Randy was in the house,

He gave Mildred

information about
how RJ City

these provisions:

Mildred was horrified when she saw her
bedroom. Someone had emptied every
drawer and ransacked the place.
Just as she had feared, the
anniversary watch was missing,
along with jewelry and some
money.
“Who can

Mildred
worried.
“My door

Victim
Support for
Mildred
John told
Mildred that
a volunteer
from his
10. office would
call her at
Betty’s house
that night to
see how she
was doing.
John told her about a group of volunteers
from a nearby church that helps with
crime scene clean-up and repair.
Mildred asked him to contact the group,
and two hours later Jo and Bill arrived to
help straighten up and to repair the door.
Betty
insisted that
Mildred stay
with her for
a few nights.
She, her
husband,
and their
two children
live in RJ
City, too.
Helen told her that a community group
called Caring Neighbors could bring
meals for a week or so once she returned
home. Mildred liked that idea.
These volunteers

Mildred found it

Sure enough, Helen called later that
evening. Mildred told her she was worried
about returning home.
Helen agreed to
visit Mildred each
evening to see how
she was doing.
Each night she and
Mildred went
through the house
to make sure it was
secure.
“I’m so upset I

So this is Mildred’s support team: her
daughter Betty, Victim Support Co-
ordinator John, and Helen the volunteer.
The Arrest
Two weeks later the police received a tip
about who had done the burglary, and
both young men were arrested.
This is Ed. He has a previous conviction
for burglary. He was 19 years old when

After an initial
denial, David
soon broke down
and confessed.
He was

worried about
how his folks
would respond.
We are sorry that this
crime took place in RJ
City. We believe that

• You may require us

• If you were

Officer Randy
gave both Ed
and David a
brochure with
information
about the
justice process
in RJ City. It
15. included these
provisions:
He told the police where some of
the stolen property was, but
some of it had already been sold,
including the anniversary watch.
David, on the
other hand,
wanted to
know what
the brochure
meant when
it said “help
make things
right.”
Ed
continued to
deny he had
done
anything
wrong, so
his case
was sent to
Adversarial
Court.
Both were
16. allowed to
meet with
attorneys who
reviewed their
options with
them.
Page 4RJ City: Case Study
David and
the Justice
System
David wanted to
“make things
right,” so he met
with Brenda, an
Offender Support
officer. She told
him about
making amends
in RJ City: he
would apologize to Mildred, answer her
questions, pay restitution and/or do any
community service they agreed on.
17. David wanted to
know how he
could do that.
“There are two
options,”
Ed and the
Justice
System
Ed told the police
that he had
nothing to do
with the burglary.
He was given the
opportunity to
talk with
Priscilla, a
lawyer, about the
options available
to him.
“The alternative is to meet with Mildred,
answer questions she may have, and
together decide what needs to be done to
make amends.”
Brenda made
sure that David
had the
18. opportunity to
talk with
Santiago, a
lawyer, about
these choices.
After learning more about restorative
circles, David decided that he would like
to participate in one, if he could bring his
parents and some
other supporters.
Brenda said that she
would find out
whether Mildred was
also interested in
participating in a
circle.
Brenda said.
“Which one we
take depends
on what you
and Mildred
want.”
“Soon Judge
Veronica, the
Investigating
19. Magistrate will be
issuing a report
about the burglary.
This will include a
recommended
amount of
restitution,”
Brenda continued.
“If you and Mildred agree
with the report, the
Magistrate will enter an
order requiring you to
pay restitution. You
can also send Mildred
a written apology, if
you wish.”
Page 5 RJ City: Case Study
Cases go to Adversarial Court if the suspect
denies responsibility or denies legal guilt.
Suspects have the right to counsel in an
Adversarial Court proceeding.
20. Suspects are also told about cooperative
processes, such as restorative circles.
These are used only when the suspect
admits responsibility.
Victims also have the right to appear with
a lawyer concerning the charge, restitution
and protection, if necessary. So there
could be three attorneys in these trials.

Mildred and
the Justice
System
John kept Mildred informed about the
progress of the investigation, including
the arrests of David and Ed.
Once it was clear
that David
accepted
responsibility but
Ed didn’t, John
explained the
alternatives before
Mildred.
Ed’s situation was different. Because Ed
denied he was involved, his case would
go to Adversarial Court for trial.
21. The prosecution would try to prove that
She could
ask the
Investigating
Magistrate to
order David
to pay
restitution.
John described how restorative circles
worked, and explained that David was
willing to participate in one. Mildred
decided that she wanted to as well, as
long as Betty and John could be there,
too.
Ed was guilty. Mildred
could have a lawyer,
if she wished, to
protect her interests
in the charge, in
reparation, and in
protection.
Mildred was given the
chance to talk with
Miriam, a Victim
Advocate. These
lawyers or para-
22. legals advise victims
The Circle about their options,
including hiring a
lawyer for the

trial. Mildred chose
not to do that.
Page 6RJ City: Case Study
Mildred invited Betty and her husband to
come.
She also asked John and Officer Randy to
participate.
Mildred and David agreed to hold the
circle at the Community Centre because it
had a room large enough to hold everyone
who would come, and because its central
location made it easy for people to get
there.

Barbara, one of the
people who

Mildred’s
neighborhood,
heard about the
circle and decided
to come to present
concerns about the
effects of crime on
community
members’ lives.
David began with an
apology. Mildred asked
why he had broken into
her house and what had
happened to the property.
Mildred explained to

So this is David’s support team: his uncle,

to the Adversarial Court for trial. He was

Ed was represented by Priscilla. The trial
focused on the issues of whether a crime
had occurred and whether Ed had been
involved in the crime.
At the conclusion of the trial, Ed was found
guilty. Judge Bernard ordered a pre-

How Things
Worked Out
for Mildred
37. Mildred’s fear was significantly reduced
after the restorative circle with David.
Barbara made
sure that her
neighbors who
attended the
public meeting
were introduced
to Mildred.
She also invited Mildred to her house
where Mildred met Barbara’s young son,
Aklilu. Mildred began doing occasional
childcare for Aklilu.
Several years later,
as Mildred’s health
began to deteriorate,
she moved to a
nursing home.
Barbara, Aklilu,
and several
other neighbors
visited her on a
regular basis.
Over time, Betty
noticed that Mildred
was less depressed
and dependent than
she had been even
before the burglary.

How Things
Worked Out
for David
David successfully completed his
agreement. His relationship with his
parents improved significantly in part
because of the course they took and
because of the time he spent with his
uncle.
He rejoined his baseball
team and played well.
He was the team’s
leadoff batter during the
second half of the
season.
He entered RJ City Community College and
began to coach Little League. Sometimes
his team played Betty’s husband’s team
(David’s team usually won).
About a year after the circle, David noticed
an anniversary clock in the front window
of an antique shop. It was in good working
39. order, and he bought it.
David told Mildred
that he continued
to be sorry about
her husband’s
watch. He hoped
that she would
accept the

as a gift, even though it could not replace
the watch.
Mildred appreciated the gift and
displayed the clock on her mantle.
How Things
Worked Out
for Ed
Eventually,
David
became a

He was an
excellent
volunteer

the program.
Ed did reasonably well while he was in the
closed workshop. He was a very good
carpenter.
Ed had noticed

turned on, but invisible behind a normal-
looking mirror when it was off.
In fact, he
surprised Delbert,
the director of the
workshop, by
designing a new
piece of furniture
that ended up
being a top seller.
Page 11 RJ City: Case Study
During one burglary, he was stunned to
see that the owners had covered their flat
screen TV with one of his mirrors.
This happened shortly after his girlfriend
had told him she was pregnant, and he
began to think about what was happening
in his life.
He got in touch
with Frank for
advice.
Frank
challenged him
to deal with his
42. substance
abuse problem
and promised
that if he did,
Frank would be
there when he
was released
from treatment.
However, when he was released he fell in
with old friends and
began to abuse
substances again.
He got his money
by breaking into
houses (but now,
after David’s
testimony against
him, he only
worked alone).
Frank helped him
find a part-time
job with a
cabinetry maker.
The owner was
impressed with
Ed’s work and
after six months
made the position
full time.
For outpatient treatment, Ed joined a
twelve step programme. After awhile, he
began thinking about how he could make
43. amends to those he had harmed during
his burglaries.
So Ed
checked
himself into a
House of
Refuge with

programming.
When he
finished
treatment he
was sober.
He met with several victims in restorative
circles, and sent messages of apology to
several others who were willing to receive
them.
Judge Veronica, the Investigating
Magistrate determined that there was
evidence to charge Ed with 6 more counts

Ed settled down,

continued to

volunteered at the
