Purpose

Justice Watch Tucson is designed to provide a public eye on the justice system affecting citizens of Tucson, Arizona. The program aims to more actively insert public interests and values into the justice system and to maximize public order and the wellbeing of Tucsonans.

Public order is the absence of disorder. Disorder comes in many flavors, from simple neighbor squabbles and trashy yards to loud parties, graffiti, petty theft and serious crime. The justice system is an important societal mechanism to restore public order when individual restraint fails or simple person to person influence on the behavior of others is insufficient. Justice Watch Tucson wants the justice system to operate at an optimum level. It wants the forces of law and order to reduce the likelihood of future illegal and discordant behavior, and to do so efficiently and effectively.

Training Manuals Received

Yesterday, Justice Watch Tucson received training manuals from one of the most developed and respected court watch programs in the country.  The Watch program of Minneapolis provides a variety of support for new programs with the training manuals being the place to start. Not reinventing the wheel is always desirable - JWT will be studying these manuals for advice to accept and for pitfalls to avoid.
