The RVCRI team will fund RVCRI team members and SME Ken Clary to present at the National Criminal Justice Association 2024 Conference.
Violent crime continues to be a challenge in many small and rural communities. Community-based resources are often scarce and, when available, only at a significant distance. As a result, law enforcement agencies acting alone may experience challenges to successfully address violent crime in their community. What partnerships and resources are most appropriate to address violent crime? How can a small investment result in big returns for your community?
This workshop aims to address:
• Challenges that rural towns and cities face in the criminal justice system, such as crime trends and barriers that hinder the process.
• Resources and gaps in the system to better serve those in rural communities who are often overlooked and underserved.
• Innovative ways that different states are implementing to combat these problems.
Attendees will hear from members of the Rural Violent Crime Reduction Initiative Team about their efforts and experiences with rural criminal justice agencies across the country working to address violent crime challenges in a variety of ways.
