Community justice: have your say

Tuesday 28 March, 2 – 4pm

EVOC, Ashley Place off Newhaven Road

The Scottish Government and partners are working towards a new model for community justice. The new model aims to:

  • Reduce crime
  • Keep communities safe; and
  • Promote social inclusion and citizenship.

The basis for the new model is that everyone can contribute to our communities. Some people need more support to do this than others. We want to give people support to stay out of trouble. We need to support those who have committed offences so they can add value to – rather than detract from – our society. At the same time, we must make sure that the needs of victims and witnesses of crime are met.

Community justice involves everyone. Not only justice services but also people with offending backgrounds, their families and services working with them, local communities, private businesses, voluntary sector bodies and victims and witnesses of crime, their families and organisations supporting them.

EVOC are supporting this consultation from the Community Safety Partnership and invite you to attend and help shape this service.
