NCJPM Schedule
31st Annual Convocation
Scranton PA
June 10-13, 2012.
Implementing Community Justice: Thinking broadly about Crime and Justice
This year's convocation will invite reflection on Jail and Prison Ministry within the perspective of Community Justice. Community justice is a way of thinking that shapes our way of acting about crime and its impact on specific communities. The goal of community justice is to improve the quality of life for all involved: victims, offenders, and the community at large, since all of us are affected by the ravages of crime.
