John Howard Society - Moose Jaw - Alternative Measures Program for Adults

Alternative Measures refers to means other than the formal court process for adults charged with certain offenses as approved by the Ministry of Justice and the Crown Prosecutor. In order for an offense to be eligible to be referred for the program, adults are required to take responsibility for committing the offence. The John Howard Society arranges a face-to-face meeting between the offender and victim. A mediated discussion takes place with the intent of repairing harm and deterring the offender from further criminal activity. The goal is to address underlying issues and focus on education and information. Upon successful completion, the charge is withdrawn by the courts. This program is centered on the belief that justice is best determined by those directly involved.
