He also believes, however, that the offender should be held &#8220;accountable&#8221; for the harms of his or her crime and should make amends to victims to the extent possible. <\/p>\n<p> The Victims Advisory Group will be under the umbrella of the United States Sentencing Commission, which develops the national sentencing policy for the federal courts. The Commission was established in 1985 to ensure that similar offenders who commit similar offenses receive similar sentences. <\/p>\n<p> In an official statement posted recently on its website, the U.S. Sentencing Commission said the six group advisory group members &#8220;were selected from a broad array of applicants, with the aim of providing the Commission with a victim-centered perspective on federal sentencing issues and providing a key educational role in disseminating sentencing-related information to victims groups and other interested advocacy groups.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Zehr&#8217;s fellow committee members are: Mary Lou Leary, executive director of the National Center for Victims of Crime (chair); Douglas E. Beloof of Lewis and Clark Law School; Russell P. Butler of the Maryland Crime Victims&#8217; Resource Center; Montie R. Deer, former Assistant U.S. Attorney; and Pat Sekaquaptewa of the Nakwatsvewat Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Read about 91短视频&#8217;s <a href=\"\/cjp\/\">Center for Justice and Peacebuilding<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restorative justice expert and CJP professor Howard Zehr The United States government has named restorative justice expert Howard Zehr to be one of six members of a new Victims Advisory <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2008\/us-names-zehr-to-high-level-advisory-group\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about U.S. Names Zehr to High-Level Advisory Group<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12503],"tags":[5974,6232,8796],"feature":[],"class_list":["post-1703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cjp","tag-howard-zehr","tag-restorative-justice","tag-victims"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
