Fixing Juvie Justice premiered August 13, 2013.
See how Maori principles of justice are applied to the mean streets of Baltimore.
Abramson's quest is to challenge the current system and create change from the ground up by giving kids an opportunity to resolve conflicts through these community conferences rather than court. Viewers see how people come together to resolve conflict in their own communities and all of the drama that unfolds when everyone is given a chance and encouraged to let emotions out. Can a community-based approach to justice derived from a structure conceived in New Zealand centuries ago give hope to the mean streets of the U.S.? Fixing Juvie Justice has some answers.
Fixing Juvie Justice was produced by Pacific Islanders in Communications and National Geographic Television.
