  Constructing Circles of Peace

  Constructing Circles of Peace, also known as Construyendo Circulos de Paz, is a social justice organization that provides treatment options aimed at ending cycles of abuse. The initiative was developed to offer a holistic and culturally sensitive approach for underserved victims of family violence in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. In 2008, the Ash Institute at Harvard Kennedy School recognized Circles of Peace as one of the Top 50 Innovations in Government. The organization's primary service is a restorative justice program that utilizes peacemaking circles. This model is one of the first in the United States to apply restorative justice principles to court-mandated treatment for domestic violence offenses. The process involves bringing together the individual who has been abusive, willing family members, support persons, a trained facilitator, and community volunteers to foster dialogue, address the harm caused, and create plans for change. Beyond domestic violence, their services extend to court-ordered DUI programs, pretrial services, and school-based diversion programs for students and parents. They also engage in community-building activities, training, and workshops on restorative justice applications in various systems like courts and schools. The business model is that of a non-profit organization. It collaborates with court systems and provides services for court-ordered treatments. It serves a wide range of clients, from individuals and families to community members and professionals in judicial and social service settings. Research on the Circles of Peace model, funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Justice, has indicated that it can be a safe and viable option for domestic violence cases, with studies showing significant reductions in recidivism.
