**5. Conclusion**

For the recovery of the deviant juvenile it is relevant that the policies of the juvenile criminal justice system intersect with those of the institutions and the private social sector that at different levels care about their recovery and protection. The mobilization of personal and social resources is important.

The deepening of the response of the spheres of the legal-criminal and social subsystem directly involved in the application of measures and recovery policies has provided indications on the limits outside the regulatory framework.

The service for the conciliation and penal mediation represents a fundamental junction of the d.P.R. 448 and a substantial reference of the restorative justice both on the victim's and the community's side, because it tries to heal the evil caused by the offender, and on the offender's side, because it rebuilds his identity and reconnects with the victim and the community.

Well, for the years observed as the temporal axis of the research, it has been noted that it has been arranged in an increasingly ascending form, however, only in 19.3% of cases it was possible to concretely start the meetings. A percentage, this one, that can be said without doubt to be even more unsuccessful if we think that just in 2000 between the City of Naples and the Centre for Juvenile Justice of Naples a first protocol of understanding was stipulated to respond to the need to identify a neutral place in which the intervention aimed at conciliation between the parties was distinct from the one in the judiciary.

The examination, then, on the methods of reception in the communities of the territory of the subjects in m.a.p. (conducted on a total of 19 residential facilities of the Campania Region) has allowed us - through in-depth interviews with managers and operators on the basis of a prepared track - to detect and understand the experiences gained by those who deal with children in m.a.p. daily.

The analysis of the material has shed light on some problems and critical issues related to the community intervention with this specific category of users, among them: the effective individualization of educational projects; the inadequacy that characterizes the tools for evaluating the quality of community intervention used by institutional services; the low participation of social workers in the programming activity; the insufficient investment in training and professional updating of operators and managers of the structures; the failure to take off the restorative pedagogy in individualized educational projects.

If they remain unchanged, it is difficult for the strategies and good practices, which we have intercepted, to have positive interactive and sequential effects both for the prevention and for the fight against serious deviations.

The path to be pursued and the one on which to propose and invent operational models and practices is the one indicated by the Council of Europe in Rec 2003 where (art. 8) indicates the new ways of treating serious juvenile deviance and what the role of juvenile justice must be: "*to develop a wider range of measures and sanctions applicable in the community, which are innovative and more effective. These measures should directly target criminal conduct and take into account the needs of the offender. They should also involve the offender's parents or guardian (unless this is considered contrary to the aim to be pursued) and, where appropriate and whenever possible, allow mediation, reparation of the harm caused and compensation to the victim".*
