Quinn Consultants strives to help change the justice system. With several levels of government involved and constitutionally separate branches of government, it is no wonder we sometimes work at cross purposes. By reaching agreement on key issues and prioritizing effective approaches, the various agencies of justice, other service agencies, and the community can create a common vision for a better future. We can help you create that vision and take meaningful steps toward that better future.
We are criminal justice generalists, but these categories describe our areas of concentration:

Examples of projects ranged from sharing information on gangs in prison to partnering probation officers with police patrol in high crime areas.

This philosophy differs in process and outcome from the more traditional adversarial justice system. It calls for a collaborative approach involving all the affected parties, and measures justice by victim and community indicators as well as offender outcomes. It is a promising approach increasingly applied with examples at all stages of the justice process and all levels of government. Read More |
