SOLUTION: Restorative Justice Approaches

Full Solution

Expand utilization of restorative approaches across all systems (schools, community programs, detention, etc) to include everyone impacted by conflict, crime, and violence, and reduce youth involvement with detention centers and the adult criminal justice system.

Summary of 2-Year Action Strategy

2022-2023: Build a shared vision and ensure shared understanding of restorative approaches (RAs) across the community, schools, and the juvenile justice system. Once established, embed RAs into the infrastructure across systems at the State, City, school board, etc. (e.g. requirements for charter renewal, mandate from the State, City-level budget for RA programs). Expand implementation of RA programs and practices utilizing increased community buy in and funding.
