Summary

Herron, Bobbie J. (2004). Citizens Circles: A Road Map to Successful Community Involvement Promoting Responsible Citizenship Columbus, Ohio: Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

Circle members address risks that contribute to criminal activity by taking ownership over the solution. It is an opportunity for citizens to communicate expectations for successful reentry and help offenders recognize the harm their behavior has caused others. Offenders are able to make amends and demonstrate their value and potential to the community. (excerpt) This manual provides an overview of the Citizen Circles.
