Preferred term

community justice  

Definition

  • Community justice is the label given to restorative social and criminal justice-based efforts to respond to the harm that problems such as bias, prejudice, and criminality cause in a community. Consistent with peacemaking and progressive sociological and crimi-nological approaches, this focus leads to a concentration on education, prevention, and interdiction efforts through the prism of consequences for all members of the public.
