JNP seeks to shrink the criminal justice system while re-building devastated communities and preventing violence. We propose and support productive responses to crime, with a focus on the issue of discretionary sentencing. We provide information and resources for advocates, and potential advocates, to take action, particularly through local court watch advocacy projects. Through these projects, JNP aims to document the pervasiveness of excessive sentencing and its sources, as a means to foster action for more responsible sentencing. |
