CurrentHealing Justice Coalition perceives crime as a violation of people and relationships. Offenders, victims and the community all share the collective, painful experience, but must transcend the brokenness to take responsibility for healing relationships. In this process, we seek to involve offenders, their families, the community, schools, universities, religious leaders and their congregations. We will work to increase the number of congregations across the breadth of faith traditions in high schools, law schools and universities participating in Juvenile Justice Week of Faith. These groups will be encouraged to go beyond prayer, meditation, reflection or presentation on the need to restorative juvenile justice to become involved in outreach activities working towards this goal.As a diverse coalition, Healing Justice Coalition seeks to implement a multi-faceted approach of legislative advocacy and direct service to support restorative justice for juveniles instead of divisive, punitive measures that further fracture families and communities.
