Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, with funding support from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance.
Of the many responsibilities U.S. governors have related to a state’s criminal justice system, one of the more important is appointing members and chairs of paroling authorities. Though paroling authorities vary in size and responsibilities, collectively they are responsible for deciding whether and when to release approximately 125,000 inmates on an annual basis.
On May 10, 2017 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) will present a webinar on “New Findings in SPI.” Since SPI began in 2009, more than 50 SPI projects have been funded to test and evaluate evidence-based policing tactics and strategies. This webinar will feature four SPI sites—Boston, Massachusetts; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Los Angeles, California; and Rochester, New York—that recently completed their evaluation research.
This Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) and Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) webinar will highlight the exciting work of the BJA-funded Nationwide Crime Analysis Capability Building Project.
This webinar will discuss a new toolkit of resources to enable law enforcement officers to identify and respond to children exposed to violence and potentially traumatic events. The new toolkit, "Enhancing Police Responses to Children Exposed to Violence: A Toolkit for Law Enforcement," launches on April 4, 2017 and will be available in electronic and hardcopy.
