Community Forum on Violence Dialogue Report
On May 23, 2007, the City of Pasadena held a community forum to address four incidents of violence that occurred in Pasadena over a  two-day period earlier in the month. These incidents resulted in 2 homicides. At the forum, the City organized a presentation, which consisted of remarks by Pasadena Police Chief Bernard Melekian and a panel with Councilmembers Jacque Robinson, Chris Holden and Victor Gordo and Pasadena Unified School District Board President Steve Lizardo. 

Following the presentation, the Western Justice Center convened a dialogue session.

Conflict Resolution Education and Public Policy

The Western Justice Center Foundation, in partnership with the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR), undertook a project funded by the Compton Foundation to develop recommendations for integrating conflict resolution education (CRE) throughout California public schools.  Interviews and meetings were held with relevant practitioners, educators, policymakers, and others to assess needs and gather views with respect to CRE and public policy.  The report was prepared by Annette Townley and finalized in July 2002.  Click here for the final report.
