Beginning in September 2003, The Spurwink Institute launched its newest venture, The Institute for Justice Initiatives, in partnership with Southern Maine Community College. The Institute for Justice Initiatives’ mission is to expand the breadth and depth of the education and training provided for justice-related agencies in Maine by improving the education, policy, training and advocacy of those organizations as well as the quality of services they deliver. The Institute for Justice Initiatives houses both the Center for Juvenile Justice and the Center for Effective Correctional Practices. The Institute for Justice Initiatives provides customized training required to work in Maine’s juvenile or adult criminal justice systems as well as research, program development, and quality assurance related to public safety and current justice issues.
