    Learning from Error in Criminal Justice: A Sentinel Events Approach

    In criminal justice, a “sentinel event” is a bad outcome that might include a death in custody, routine police encounter that escalates to violence, mishandling of evidence, wrongful conviction, or “near miss,” in which a negative event is narrowly avoided.

At the same time, only 13 percent of violent crime victims with disabilities received assistance from non-police victim services agencies.
