MISSION STATEMENT
Justice
Studies Association (JSA) is
an international not-for-profit membership association
established in 1998 to:
- foster
writing and research about, the practice of, and activism
for, justice without violence;
- provide
venues in the form of an annual conference and a journal
of progressive thought to tackle pressing issues of criminal,
social, restorative, and economic justice;
- foster
a sense of community among scholars, activists, and practitioners
of justice interested in creating a global community in which
the needs of all are met; and
- welcome
scholars from all disciplines to think and write about issues
of justice from an interdisciplinary and global perspective.
As
an international association, Justice Studies Association seeks
to effect personal and structural change in social arrangements
that harm people by denying them their needs and to articulate
ideas that will effect change in social policies that meet
the needs of all. In this sense, JSA is a radical alternative
to existing academic associations and societies whose interests
and questions-asked are largely determined by the parameters
of the nation-state and globalizing market.
