This final project report (15 September 2000) details an effort to mobilize volunteers for community justice services. In October 1999 the John Howard Society of Moncton initiated a project to address crime prevention through the development of restorative justice. The directions for this project were: 1) the recruitment, and training of volunteers to participate in restorative justice initiatives; 2) the development of committed partners and a working partnership structure that facilitates continued development of crime prevention initiatives, community involvement and restorative justice practices; and 3) specific efforts to increase community awareness and support for restorative justice. The report includes evaluation results.
Your donation helps Prison Fellowship International repair the harm caused by crime by emphasizing accountability, forgiveness, and making amends for prisoners and those affected by their actions. When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.
