The Neighbourhood Justice Centre
Written by marian on August 25, 2009This week on Done By Law we take a look at the Neighbourhood Justice Centre, Australia’s first “neighbourhood court”, which began operating in 2007. Located on Wellington Street in Collingwood, the Centre aims to take a different approach to justice dealt out by courts. It is based on the idea of restorative justice: addressing the causes of crime and encouraging offenders to take responsibility for their actions. We speak to the Director of the Centre, Kerry Walker, to find out how this works in practice and to discuss some of the issues involved.
