Candidate for
Superior Court Judge; County of Los Angeles; Office 69

I believe strongly in the concept of Community Justice, also known as Restorative Justice.

Community Justice is based on the concept that those who have been injured by crime must be restored, and that victims, community members AND the offender should be able to participate in that restoration process.

Community Justice empowers victims and community members and forces offenders to accept responsibility for their actions.

I believe that community justice helps victims to feel restored and gives offenders alternatives to repeating harmful behavior.
