Latest News

Hawai‘i Friends of Civic & Law Related Education's mission is to educate the public on civic and law related education. It is a small virtual organization run by dedicated volunteers that meet in the Judiciary History Center at the Supreme Court. Hawai‘i Friends works to increase democratic behavior by engaging people in positive civic activities and decision making, which they will want to continue. It designs, and implements interactive teaching programs.

Public Health Approach:

Since its inception in 1980, Hawai‘i Friends has been using public health approaches, including cooperative education practices, and in 1996 began promoting restorative justice, in programs to improve the justice system.

We the People Program:

Hawai‘i Friends currently provides We the People, a United States Constitutional law program that uses cooperative education, for high school students. Students from across the country compete annually in mock legislative hearings concerning contemporary legal issues in Washington D.C.

Violence Prevention Through Cooperative Learning Program:

Hawai‘i Friends has developed a unique literacy and cooperative education based violence prevention program, Violence Prevention Through Cooperative Learning. It is a project for secondary students at risk of dropping out of school and has been provided to hundreds of teenagers and thousands of elementary students in Hawai‘i.

Hawai‘i Friends often provides the program as a pilot to Hawai‘i public schools. The curriculum for the program, along with evaluation tools, is provided freely to schools and is available upon request to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Reading Stories to Change the World is an article describing this innovative program featuring Wai‘anae High School students at risk of dropping out of school. Another article about the program was published in Reclaiming Children and Youth, a national journal for violence prevention practitioners in 2006.

In 2007 Hawai‘i Friends provided the program in conjunction with a restorative justice and solution-focused pilot project at a middle school in Honolulu that showed increased student attendance and decreased bullying behavior.

Restorative Justice:

Since 1996 Hawai‘i Friends has promoted restorative justice, which is based on democratic decision making and applies public health education principals, i.e. it is empowering, relies on active learning experiences, for affecting positive behavioral, emotional, and cognitive changes for individuals and communities.

Restorative justice (RJ) provides victims, and the community, opportunities to heal and strengthen their lives and relationships, after suffering an incident of crime or social injustice. RJ also offers offenders an opportunity to learn from wrongdoing. Restorative justice is based on the ancient conflict resolution practices of many indigenous cultures including Hawaiians.

Most restorative justice experiences result in increased optimism of participants and observers. RJ has been studied worldwide and has been shown to reduce recidivism in a number of settings, i.e. prisons, juvenile and adult court cases, schools. See, Sherman & Strang, Restorative Justice: the evidence, 2007 at http://www.smith-institute.org.uk/download-pages/download_restorative-justice-full-report.htm

Restorative justice deals with wrongdoing and social injustice where specific offenders may not be identifiable (See, Braithwaite, Restorative Justice and Responsive Regulation, 2002).

For a small organization Hawai‘i Friends has been effective in developing unique restorative justice programs and spreading information about them across the world.

Since 1997 Hawai‘i Friends has worked with public housing residents; juvenile and adult crime victims and offenders; homeless youth; children in foster care; prison inmates and their loved ones; public schools; the Hawai‘i State public housing authority; the Honolulu Police Department; the Hawai‘i State courts; and Hawai‘i State prisons; to develop, implement, evaluate and publish the results of its innovative restorative justice programs.

Hawai‘i Friends is planning to pilot a restorative ritual for successful parolees and probationers with assistance of professors John Briathwaite and Shadd Maruna, author of Making Good: How Ex-Convicts Reform and Rebuild Their Lives, in 2009.

Hawai‘i Friends’ has developed numerous innovative restorative justice processes and programs in many diverse areas including:

Public Housing Community Pilot:

Hawai‘i Friends first worked with public housing facilities in 1997 providing restorative justice processes for public housing residents and managers, and published the first article on its work: “A Hawai'i Public Housing Community Implements Conferencing: A Restorative Approach to Conflict Resolution” in the Journal of Housing & Community Development, Nov/Dec. 2000 (http://www.restorativejustice.org/articlesdb/articles/5404).

Juvenile Justice Diversion:

In 1999 Hawai‘i Friends piloted a restorative justice program for juveniles, Restorative Conferences: A New Approach for Juvenile Justice in Honolulu, which was considered by Larry Sherman and Heather Strang in the preparation of their Smith Institute report, Restorative Justice: the evidence (http://www.smith-institute.org.uk/download-pages/download_restorative-justice-full-report.htm). Hawai‘i Friends consistently receives requests for information about this juvenile justice program.

Restorative & Solution-Focused Family Conferences:

October 2008 - October 2009 we are piloting a new intervention for youth charged with status offenses and referred from the Family Court of the First Circuit in Honolulu. In 1999, when we did our first juvenile justice project with the Honolulu Police Department, we discovered the need for a more effective interventions for youth and families involved with status offenses. These offenses are usually for runaway, truancy, beyond parental control and if the youth were an adult it was not be an offense at all--status offenses only apply to minors. We worked for several months on the basic design of the Solution-Focused Family Conference and conducted the first one on March 13, 2009. We learned from the application and are working on improving the process. We will provide at least 6 Conferences for families before October 2009 with as many repeat sessions as necessary. We will report on the preliminary outcomes in November 2009.

Victims of Offenses without Known Offenders Program:

In 2001 Hawai‘i Friends developed, applied and measured the results of a restorative justice process for victims where there are no known offenders (Restorative Justice Without Offender Participation: A Pilot Program for Victims http://www.realjustice.org/library/lwalker04.html).

Before Hawai‘i Friends developed this application for victims, it was widely held that restorative justice is only useful when there is a known offender of a wrongdoing. Seventy percent of all crime in the United States, however, goes without any offender ever being identified. Hawai‘i Friends’ application of restorative justice for these victims provided healing to many who before were considered unable of benefiting from this approach.

Pono Kaulike an Adult Criminal Court Pilot Program:

In 2002 Hawai‘i Friends developed an important restorative justice pilot project for a Honolulu criminal court where mainly intimate and domestic violence parties engage in restorative justice processes, either together or separately (2004, Hawaii Bar Journal, Pono Kaulike: A Restorative Justice Pilot Program http://www.restorativejustice.org/articlesdb/articles/5401 and Pono Kaulike: A Hawaii Court Provides Restorative Justice Practices for Healing Relationships, Walker & Hayashi, Federal Probation Journal, Vol. 71, No. 3, 18-24, 2007 http://www.uscourts.gov/fedprob/December_2007/hawaiianCriminalCourt.html).

PONO KAULIKE REDUCES RECIDIVISM: Hawai‘i Friends has completed an evaluation of the program for recidivism reduction funded by the Hawaii Justice Foundation. The research confirms that people who had the Pono Kaulike intervention had significantly less incidents of re-offending than people who did not participate in Pono Kaulike. The results have been published in Pono Kaulike: Reducing Violence with Restorative and Solution-Focused Approaches, Federal Probation Journal, Walker & Hayashi, Vo. 73. No. 1, June 2009 paper http://www.uscourts.gov/fedprob/June_2009/FocusedApproaches.html Please email Lorenn Walker at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.

Prison Programs:

In 2004 Hawai‘i Friends, in collaboration with the Hawai‘i state Department of Public Safety and the Community Alliance on Prisons, created and applied two innovative prison programs.

Restorative Circles:

The Restorative Circle process, which is for imprisoned people, their families and victims, which addresses the incarcerated person's needs for a successful reentry into the community (crime and drug free), and which included the need for reconciliation for all the participants, has been pioneering work (2006, Federal Probation Journal, “Restorative Circles: A Reentry Planning Process for Hawaii Inmates” http://www.uscourts.gov/fedprob/June_2006/circles.html).

The Restorative Circle process was the subject of a Hawai‘i state legislative bill that was passed to fund the Circles and is part of a grass roots movement in Hawai‘i to improve the prison system and to provide more effective prisoner reentry processes to include restorative justice (see: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/site1/docs/getstatus2.asp?billno=SB932).

Unfortunately Hawaii's innovative Reentry Law that was passed over a governor's veto was not funded by the Linda Lingle administration (see: Restorative Justice is a Mandated Component of Hawai'is Reentry System, Brady and Walker, Justice Connections, Issue 6, Summer 2008 avaialbe on line from: http://www.lorennwalker.com/articles.htm).

The country of Belgium, which legally mandates restorative justice be applied at all levels of criminal cases, is piloting its own Restorative Circle process with select inmates in the Flanders region of that country.

Modified Restorative Circles:

Since developing the Restorative Circle program Hawai‘i Friends has applied a similar process for incarcerated people whose families and loved one are not interested or are unable to participate. Instead a group of incarcerated friends participates as supporters. The Modified Restorative Circles model is a promising intervention for assisting incarcerated people develop reentry plans that addresses ways she or he may reconcile without victim participation.

A paper is in press currently describing this process, Modified Restorative Circles: A Reintegration Group Planning Process that Promotes Desistance, Walker, with the Contemporary Justice Review journal.

Facilitator Training for Incarcerated People:

Hawai‘i Friends has also designed and trained over 75 imprisoned people in Hawai‘i on restorative justice facilitation, emotional intelligence and solution-focused language skills.

This program has shown promising results (2006, Corrections Today, “A Gift of Listening for Hawaii’s Inmates” http://www.restorativejustice.org/articlesdb/articles/7367. (The article is also for sale on Amazon.com by the publisher).

Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence, www.danielgoleman.com, has said that this prison work is “magnificent.”

Community Conversations on Restorative Justice:

This project showed that the community overwhelming wants to see restorative justice used in prisons and for criminal cases in Hawai‘i.

Representatives of Hawai‘i Friends and past participants in Hawai‘i Friends restorative justice programs made a series of presentations between July 2006 and February 2007 at different public and private meetings on O‘ahu and Maui.

The nature of restorative justice and the possibilities of its use in the community were the subject of the presentations. Input from individuals at the meetings was collected on surveys that provided the information that confirms the community would like to see restorative justice used in our criminal and prison systems. The program was supported by a small grant from the Hawai‘i Justice Foundation.
