Danielle Sered leads the award-winning Brooklyn-based Common Justice, which develops and advances solutions to violence that meet the needs of those harmed and advance racial equity without relying on incarceration.
Praise for Until We Reckon:
"[Sered's] ideas, and her practical experience with the
Brooklyn-based group Common Justice, struck me as both totally
sensible and totally revolutionary."
—Tom Jackman, The Washington Post
"A top-notch entry into the burgeoning incarceration debate."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The work [Sered is doing] is truly impressive and innovative. . .
. [It] encompasses two seemingly contradictory threads—one is
diverting violent criminals from the prison system, and the other
is helping victims heal. I found it completely, radically original
and generally fascinating. . . . Truly remarkable work."
—Scott Stossel, The Atlantic
"Recently, a loose network of gun-crime victims, as well as men and
women who've survived sexual assault, violent robberies, and other
violations of the social contract . . . have emerged with an
alternative policy vision. Among its many champions is Danielle
Sered [who leads] pioneering efforts to provide community-based
support to young men of color who've been harmed by violence . . .
and those responsible for crimes."
—Sarah Stillman, The New Yorker
“Sered makes a persuasive case for the potential of restorative
justice to truly restore what has been taken from the victim and
the community when a crime occurs.”
—Michelle Kuo, The New York Review of Books
"Danielle Sered provocatively offers and backs up a vision that
actually promotes real healing for crime survivors and improves
community safety. A must-read for anyone who truly wants to
dismantle mass incarceration."
—Nick Turner, president, Vera Institute of Justice
"A pioneer in restorative justice."
—NPR
"Sered issue[s] a clarion call to take [violent crime] seriously
and handle it with nuance. Sered reminds us that, if we're serious
about reducing mass incarceration, we need to grapple seriously,
and safely, with people who have committed violent offenses and the
survivors of their crimes."
—HuffPost
“A must-read.”
—New York Law Journal
“A pivotal text in the restorative-justice field.”
—Harvard Magazine
“Sered’s wisdom and sharp insights are the guiding lights needed to
illuminate a process of restorative justice for those grappling
with dismantling the prison industrial complex.”
—Shaka Senghor, National Book Foundation Literature for Justice
committee
“If we don’t begin to talk about people who harm people and how we
treat them, we will just be spinning our wheels in our efforts to
end mass incarceration.”
—Norris Henderson, VOTE
