Delaware's criminal justice system hasn't been effective in making our communities safer, reducing recidivism, supporting victims, protecting law enforcement and corrections officers, or using our tax dollars wisely. Restorative Justice addresses these issues. Join Delaware Citizens Opposed to the Death Penalty at our 2017 Annual Meeting as we host BARBIE FISCHER, Restorative Justice Practitioner and Executive Director of Restorative Encounters.
Ms. Fischer will speak on: REIMAGINING JUSTICE: HOW RESTORATIVE JUSTICE SATISFIES THE NEEDS OF VICTIMS, OFFENDERS, AND COMMUNITIES.
A brief business meeting will be held at 6:45pm, just prior to the talk. The meeting and talk are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. Free parking available.
Crime causes injury to people and communities. Restorative Justice offers principles and practices to address the harms that have occurred, the needs that have arisen from those harms, and who is obligated to meet those needs. Barbie Fischer is Executive Director of Restorative Encounters, a non-profit whose aim is to encourage taking responsibility for our actions and working toward healing all affected by crime. Ms. Fischer has over 15 years of experience in restorative justice, working in community and program development with various organizations around the world.
