And in the face of concerns about crime and safety, how can we do better for children and our communities? Are other jurisdictions also following the same path?Join us to explore these questions.</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/26138873012397570/">https://www.facebook.com/events/26138873012397570/</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://events.humanitix.com/children-and-community-safety-can-we-move-beyond-criminalisation">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
