Web Site: http://www.catholicbigbrothers.org/
For nearly 80 years, Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters (CBBBS) has matched youth between the ages of 7 and 18 with volunteer adults who serve as role models, friends, and mentors. Founded in 1925, CBBBS has developed a broad spectrum of programs and services over the years that focus on the needs of these children, who are living in mostly single-parent families due to divorce, separation, or death. Deaf/hard of hearing programs, school and site based programs, and group mentoring programs are just some of the variety of services CBBBS offers. But the adult volunteers are the backbone of our programs, helping each child one at a time and making a difference that lasts a lifetime.
In 1946, Catholic Big Brothers joined forces with similar organizations and formed Big Brothers of America. There are now more than 500 affiliated Big Brother Big Sister agencies nationwide that mentor at-risk youth. Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters has evolved over the years into a secular organization serving children and volunteers of all faiths and backgrounds.

Changing Lenses: A new focus for crime and justice
Posted: Monday, April 10, 2006
Crime victims have many needs, most of which our criminal justice system ignores. In fact, the justice system often increases the injury. Offenders are less ignored by this system, but their real needs for accountability, for closure, for healing: are also left unaddressed. Such failures are not accidental, but are inherent in the very definitions and assumptions which govern our thinking about crime and justice

At first, writes Annalise Acorn, restorative justice ideas and practices appealed greatly to her. She had deep misgivings about criminal justice as commonly conceived and applied; especially, as she puts it, with criminal justice as a “conflation of justice with punishment as imprisonment – or as any pure infliction of suffering on the wrongdoer.

Criminology, Conflict Resolution and Restorative Justice
Posted: Thursday, April 13, 2006
Web Site: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0333761456/002-8807915-1014444?v=glance&n=283155
This collection explores the intersection between criminology, conflict resolution and restorative justice. It traces the role of criminological discourses in the resolution of conflict at the macro political level (in South Africa and Northern Ireland) and the micro level in settings such as local communities, indigenous justice systems and in the youth justice system. The resulting discourse, drawing upon peacemaking criminology, human rights and restorative justice frameworks, suggests an important symbiosis between the traditionally distinct disciplines of criminology and conflict resolution peace studies.

Web Site: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JNG7/qid=1090426154/sr=1-5
This rigorous and stylish documentary delves into the 2002 actions by former Republican governor of Illinois, George H. Ryan, after an investigative journalism class at Northwestern University proved that three men on Illinois' death row were innocent. The question is whether the legal system can keep an innocent man from being condemned to death. The debate is by no means simple, and "Deadline" presents a balanced picture – interviewing lawyers, anti-death penalty advocates, politicians and men who've been released from death row. The DVD can be ordered online through Amazon.

Decade of Reform: Felony Disenfranchisement Policy in the United States
Posted: Thursday, October 26, 2006
Web Site: http://www.sentencingproject.org/pdfs/FVR_Decade_Reform.pdf
This report, published by the Sentencing Project, discloses that since 1997, 16 states have implemented policy reforms that have reduced the restrictiveness of these laws, and more than 600,000 people in seven states have regained their voting rights. The report also states:
- U.S. disenfranchisement laws remain among the world's most severe despite public opinion polls showing 80% support for restoring the vote to those who have completed their sentences.
- During this year alone, 73 bills on felony disenfranchisement were introduced in 22 states and 85% of these initiatives sought to expand voting rights.
- More than 5 million Americans still will be banned from voting this Election Day; three quarters of those banned - 3.9 million - are living in the community.
- An estimated 1 in 12 African Americans is disenfranchised, a rate nearly five times the rate of non-African Americans.

The Forgiveness Project works with grassroots projects in the fields of conflict resolution, reconciliation and victim support. At a time when scenes of atrocity, conflict and crime fill our TV screens and newspapers, when tit-for-tat killings, attacks and counter-attacks seem to grab all the headlines, the Forgiveness Project aims to tell the quieter, less publicised stories of reconciliation. The stories of people who have discovered that the only way to move on in life is to lay aside hatred and blame. Set up by a small team working purely independently with no religious or organisational affiliation, The Forgiveness Project consists of a touring exhibition that will build on an evolving collection of narratives.

Homeboy Industries mission is to assist at-risk and former gang involved youth to become contributing members of our community through a variety of services in response to their multiple needs. Free programs -- including counseling, education, tattoo removal, job training and job placement -- enable young people to redirect their lives and provide them with hope for their futures.
Our first venture was Homeboy Bakery, which trained many gang members to become scratch bakers. Homeboy Industries has subsequently launched several additional income-producing ventures which are still thriving: Homeboy Silkscreen, which prints logos on apparel and provides embroidery services; Homeboy Maintenance, which provides landscape maintenance and special landscape installation projects; Homeboy/Homegirl Merchandise, which sells t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, and mouse pads with the Homeboy logo.
