About this resource hub
This resource hub has been created by and in partnership with First Nations Australians, sharing their ideas, experiences and expertise in how to design and implement justice reinvestment in their community.
It includes a combination of resources and practical tools that will step your community through the key practices and principles of justice reinvestment, along with case studies and learnings from other communities. Everything listed is accessible online and all materials published by JRNA are freely accessible directly from the JRNA website. We have also included resources published by external parties which may include pay-walls.
We have collated resources into the following key areas:
