Community Justice Initiative
The Nottinghamshire Local Criminal Justice Board is delighted that the Community Justice Project is being expanded to all areas of Nottingham City.
This is great news as it builds on the successes of the project which started in 2007 and was originally piloted in the St Anns and Aspley areas of Nottingham.
What is Community Justice?
Community Justice is a new approach to the way in which Criminal Justice agencies use existing resources and information to increase the focus on communities addressing their local needs and concerns.
Community Justice aims to:
- Ask local people to say which criminal or anti-social activities most concern them.
- Help the courts and other criminal justice agencies to listen to the needs and concerns of the local community.
- Bring the criminal justice system and the community closer together.
- Break the cycle of offending and re- offending by using a problem solving approach.
