Collaboration and education are central to the work of Redress NC. Currently we strive to
-> Collaborate with the N.C. Racial Equity Network’s efforts to inform and mobilize communities to become social change agents.
-> Facilitate difficult but important conversations with community institutions, museums, local colleges, faith communities, and civic forums on topics such as
- broadening the scope of victim advocacy (See, Susan Herman, Parallel Justice for Victims of Crime, National Center for Victims of Crime (2010); Danielle Sered, Accounting for Violence: How to Increase Safety and Break our Failed Reliance on Mass Incarceration, The Vera Institute of Justice (2017); https://www.vera.org/publications/accounting-for-violence)
- implementing the Model Penal Code recommendation to address extreme sentences (See, The American Law Institute, Model Penal Code: Sentencing (2017); Criminal Justice Facts, The Sentencing Project; https://www.sentencingproject.org/criminal-justice-facts/; Marc Mauer & Ashley Nellis, The Meaning of Life: The Case for Abolishing Life Sentences (2018))
- replacing retribution with restoration as the fundamental goal of criminal justice.
->Support the creation of Sentencing Review Units in District Attorneys Offices.
