Survivors Advocating for an Effective System

http://www.crimesurvivors.org/

Survivors Advocating For an Effective System represents the voice of survivors who believe in a restorative system of criminal justice. We are an organization of survivors, relatives and friends who seek a new vision for our criminal justice system. We believe that real reduction in victimization comes from a researched and humane approach, rather than one motivated by a desire for retribution.
