broken?
► Who did it?
► What do they deserve?
► Who’s been harmed?
► What are their needs?
► Whose obligations are
these?

► Reduce Stigma
► Changing the negative attitudes, beliefs, descriptions, language or behavior of the criminal justice system, the community, the stakeholders and most importantly our clients
► Accountability
► Holding our criminal justice system, our stakeholders, and clients accountable for improved outcomes
► Recovery
► Ensuring that the tools and skills are available to achieve long-term recovery using EBP (client, criminal justice system, and community)
