"The long-term goals of the center are to reduce the number of people going to court, the number of repeat disputes, the number of non-emergency police calls; to foster the sense of a community or village and to improve the perception of law enforcement and the justice system in the neighborhood. As an outcome of fulfilling these goals, the culture of the neighborhood may begin to change so that disputes can be settled through mediation acceptable to both parties.
