Crime survivors deserve safety and to heal after trauma. That’s why PSJ advocates for programs that
prevent violence and repair harm. We are pushing for a
system that connects survivors to healthcare, mental
health support, and stable housing directly.

When systems are built around quotas, they prioritize volume over fairness, accuracy, and community well-being. Public safety should never be measured by how many people are arrested.

This is what system design does: it defines outcomes. A system built on quotas and surveillance will reward volume — not safety.

Because the criminal justice system focuses strictly on prosecution, it offers survivors very few paths to healing and accountability. Check out the Council on Criminal Justice’s webinar, "From Victim to Defendant: The Rise of Survivor Justice Laws."events.zoom.us/ev/AoHtW8VHUC…

The City of Gresham proves that stable housing is the key to public safety. With a 74% reduction in its unsheltered population over the last decade, the city provides case management and housing stability, while
ensuring long-term success.

Public safety means keeping families together. Family separation is deeply damaging; for a child, losing their parent in an instant is terrifying. For the parent, it’s a shattering loss that simply no policy can justify. This isn’t safety.
