In 2013, Clarksville witness over 1500 acts of violence in addition to property crimes. The city ended the year with 112 homicides, 20 more deaths than in the previous year, a statistic which has many asking how to quell the violence. Hand in Hand, a restorative justice program working in East Clarksville, believes it has an answer. Established in 2008 by Curtis Williams, a local educator, it aims to shift the community’s response to crime. Rather than penalizing offenders with jail time, it asks victims to confront their offenders, explain the crime’s impact, and find a way to move forward. The initiative was born after Williams was mugged by a neighbor’s teenage son. “It was challenging for me,” Williams said, “because we’d been neighbors for years. I’d seen the boy grow up and I didn’t want to burn any bridges, but I felt hurt and angry.” In an attempt to salvage his relationship with his neighbors, Williams held the first Hand in Hand meeting, inviting family, neighbors, even clergy. Williams explained his reasoning, saying, “I wanted to have the opportunity to face that young man and specify how he impacted my life. Nothing can negate what he did, but it made me feel powerful.”
