RJ Week
Restorative Justice Week (RJ Week) appears to have started in England with Prisoner's Sunday established to remember incarcerated men and women in 1975. The day of remembrance expanded to Canada where it was extended to a week in 1995. In 1996, it was renamed 'Restorative Justice Week: Community, Victims, and Prisoners' to more clearly represent the sentiments of the observance. It is generally the third week of November, although the dates used by different groups may vary.
Restorative Justice Week is an annual opportunity during the third week in November to publicize and promote the principles and values of restorative justice. |
