FPO – Restorative Justice Community Action has earned widespread recognition for successful outcomes. As of June 2009, we have coordinated community conferences for 2,318 cases. Offenders have contributed 15,600 hours of community service to the neighborhoods where they committed their offenses. They have also made approximately 1,330 apologies and donated over $17,200 to local charities, social service agencies, and community organizations. Overall, offenders and community members report a 96% satisfaction rate with the program. At every step in the process, offenders are treated with respect and are recognized as having the ability to contribute something positive to the neighborhoods they have harmed.
