The work of the CRJ can be effective in many settings where there is brokenness, helping stakeholders imagine and implement ways of dealing with harm and trauma that resist the impulse toward retribution and punishment. For example, our work in schools can help transform systems (and minds and hearts) that often see struggling children as "problems" to whom ineffectual punitive measures are meted out disproportionately, if unwittingly, along racial and ethnic lines. Similarly, we want to create spaces for families and communities impacted by addiction or incarceration to learn skills that can help create the conditions for healing-for restoration, reconciliation, and mutual responsibility.
