4th Annual Restorative Justice Initiative Conference

MILWAUKEE SAFE STREETS INITIATIVE:

Transforming Community and Building Relationships

Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Alumni Memorial Union
Marquette University Campus

Reserve your spot by November 5, 2007

The conference will feature a keynote address by New York Judge Alex Calabrese describing the success of the Red Hook Community Justice Center. The conference will then focus on the Milwaukee Safe Streets Initiative.

With a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Milwaukee is implementing a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary initiative involving all sectors of the community. This project focuses on the 2nd (south side) and the 5th (near north side) police districts in Milwaukee. The conference will look at what is really happening in these districts—attendees will hear from neighborhood residents, faith-based community leaders, police officers, prosecutors, community-based organization leaders, public school officials, and judges.
