Urban Justice Programs

Alternative Measures and Extrajudicial Sanctions

The program is referral-based for adults and youth.

Alternative measures/extrajudicial sanctions programs provide effective, efficient ways of resolving disputes that involve communities in developing culturally sensitive services to promote healing and reparation. They are also a way to address crime in conjunction with the criminal justice system.

Opikinawasowin (Reintegration) Program

The program is referral-based for ages 12-24.
