The British Columbia Criminal Justice Association strives to contribute to society by educating, informing, and promoting debate on criminal justice issues. We believe we are in a position where we are able to provide commentary and a forum for informed discussion about criminal justice issues from a perspective of “what works” and what is needed, rather than from a perspective of self-interest. Please join us and help make a difference!
As with many organizations providing educational public forums we have been quiet since the onslaught of Covid-19. Well as the numbers of us who are fully vaccinated rapidly increase and public health restrictions on gathering loosen it is time for BCCJA to get back to work. Plans are underway to provide several public forums beginning this fall. There are a myriad of issues calling out for informed discussion and we will be working to address as many as we can. So, watch this space for notice of upcoming events.
