Description
Thoughtful criminal justice reform efforts should produce better outcomes not only for communities and families, but for victims of crime as well. Through many common-sense changes, the justice system can provide victims with a faster, more streamlined path towards justice and healing—yet the current bureaucracy often prevents it. Join this panel of victim advocates for a discussion around alternative approaches to restoration.
