Sunday Platform with Lindsey Price Jackson: ‘Community Justice: Asking, Belonging’
March 16 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Community Justice is a growing framework within criminal justice reform that aims to improve the quality of life for community members both by reducing crime and by reducing the use of incarceration. But how can a government-controlled justice system truly engage with everyday residents in a meaningful way? This conversation will explore personal experiences in different community environments, the nuts and bolts of community justice in action, and how to apply the principles of community justice to more meaningfully engage your own neighbors.
Community lunch follows!
