WHAT IS ‘JUSTICE REINVESTMENT’

Justice reinvestment is a way of reducing Aboriginal incarceration, by implementing strategies that address the drivers into the criminal justice system, led by the community and informed by data. These strategies contribute to broader systemic reform in education, health, care, and child protection.
