Communi ty Court endeavors to hold participants accountable\, address factors impa cting participants’ criminal behavior\, provide access to local resource s\, address victim needs\, and increase public confidence in the criminal justice system.\n\nSpokane Community Court strives to achieve these goals by utilizing a problem-solving approach\, with a strong emphasis on buildi ng collaborative partnerships within the criminal justice system\, and amo ng government agencies\, social service providers\, and community groups. Community Courts recognize that low level\, non-violent offenses impact bo th individuals and the community at large. If not addressed\, quality-of-l ife crimes can erode community order\, lead to neighborhood decay\, and cr eate an atmosphere where more serious crime can flourish.\n\nThe accountab ility component ensures that community service projects are performed in t he neighborhood where the crime occurred. The help/assistance component is also community-driven\, as local resources provide wraparound services to address underlying problems and challenges that lead individuals to commi t crimes\, so as to provide lasting solutions and reduce recidivism.\n\nCo mmunity courts also adopt procedural justice and restorative justice stand ards. Procedural justice research has shown that when defendants and litig ants perceive the court process to be fair—exhibiting respect\, understa nding\, neutral decision-making\, and helpfulness—they are more likely t o comply with court orders and to follow the law in the future\, regardles s of whether they “win” or “lose” their case.\n\nThis is a compreh ensive program consisting of various rehabilitative services\, such as beh avioral health counseling\, housing\, healthcare\, education\, employment\ , etc. that will help improve quality of life for participants\, their lov ed ones\, and the society at large. Community courts assist participants i n achieving self-sufficiency and becoming responsible members of the commu nity. The community service projects put specific emphasis on environmenta l improvements and neighborhood revitalization.\n\nIndividuals do not need to be involved with the criminal justice system before taking advantage o f the resources available at Community Court. Community members wishing to assist are encouraged to serve as mentors\, volunteers\, and providers of services. We strongly believe that community-driven solutions will help b uild a better community.\n\n CATEGORIES:Restorative Justice LOCATION:Northeast Community Center\, 4001 N.
