TALK TITLE:

"From criminal justice to Human Justice"

TALK ABSTRACT:

The talk will explore what it took and will continue to take to shift the paradigm and practice of public safety from criminal justice to Human Justice.

What is Human Justice, exactly?

Human Justice = Human Rights + Human Development

Human Rights are all the things that people need for healthy and thriving lives. Human Rights include safe and clean housing, equitable access to land and resources, pro-human health-care, truthful education, and more.

Human Development is the ability of people to create the social and cultural conditions to flourish free from oppression and to create a world where Human Rights are woven into the fabric of society.
