Tower Hill to benefit from justice project
Published: Friday | May 29, 2009
Tower Hill in St Andrew has been added to the list of communities to benefit from a pilot project for the development of Community Justice Tribunals, as the Govern-ment moves forward with the implementation of the restorative justice policy.
The community will join Granville, St James; May Pen, Clarendon; and Spanish Town, St Catherine, in the pilot.
Community Justice Tribunals, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Senator Dorothy Lightbourne, explained, will serve to "elevate the position of victims and the community in the justice process and allow for direct participation of residents in responding to crime".
