What is a CJC?

CJCs, or Community Justice Centers, are organizations or facilities that focus on addressing community-based justice issues. They often provide services such as mediation, conflict resolution, restorative justice programs, and support for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Their goal is to prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and foster safer, more cohesive communities by involving local residents and stakeholders in the justice process. CJCs may work with law enforcement, social services, and other community organizations to deliver their programs.
