Webinar: “Addressing Justice System Inequities Head-On”

Leaders of local criminal justice initiatives often need to facilitate sensitive conversations when evidence points to disparities in the system. Disparate outcomes can take many different forms, such as longer jail stays for people with serious mental illnesses or disproportionate numbers of people of color being booked into jail. Elevating these topics as priorities and guiding system stakeholders toward meaningful action may feel uncomfortable, challenging, and stressful for the people driving the conversation.

Join The Council of State Governments Justice Center for their upcoming “Addressing Justice System Inequities Head-On” webinar on August 18, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. ET. During this webinar, a panel of county justice system directors will share their approach to addressing systemic disparities.
