Each week, the Center for Court Innovation works with hundreds of judges and attorneys to create a more effective and humane justice system. Each week, we work in dozens of neighborhoods to improve safety and provide young people with pathways toward a positive future. And each week, we work to spread evidence-based justice reforms around the world.
To communicate the breadth and the impact of our efforts, we publish a Photo of the Week. Below are some recent highlights. To see future photos, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
As part of our focus on enhancing trust in justice, the Red Hook Community Justice Center hosted a ‘Bridging the Gap‘ event bringing together local police and young people. More than 100 people attended, including dozens of officers. Next month, the dialogue series will expand to Sunset Park. (Photo courtesy of Lauren Henschel.)
A collaboration between Brooklyn Justice Initiatives and Recess, this diversion program gives young people charged with misdemeanors the option of participating in art and performance education, after which prosecutors can dismiss and seal their cases. (Photo courtesy of Alloy/Kaz Sakuma.)
