Police Training in Colombia
Last modified 2007-12-05 08:46
In October 2006, PF Colombia Board Chairperson Lácides Hernandez served as an instructor in a training course covering restorative justice theory and practice for Medellín Metropolitan police.
Lacides provided a four hour module on the Sycamore Tree Project®. His
presentation included a Biblical view of humanity, peace and justice as
well as the topics covered in the programme: crime, responsibility,
confession and repentance, forgiveness, restitution, and
reconciliation.
PF Colombia’s participation in the police training grew out of their partnership with a research group at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellín. This group is investigating the effectiveness of restorative justice practices with the goal of developing an implementation strategy for the city. PF Colombia’s work with the Sycamore Tree Project® has been a key part of this research.
