Webinar - The Changing Nature of Crime and Criminal Investigations
Crime is evolving rapidly, creating new challenges for law enforcement agencies. By using computers, communications platforms, and other technologies, criminals commit crimes that were unheard of a decade or two ago, while also finding different ways to commit traditional crimes.

Physical evidence and witness statements are no longer sufficient in many cases.

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. Too often, the criminal justice system fails to learn from these bad outcomes. Drawing inspiration from aviation, medicine, and other high-risk fields, the Sentinel Events Initiative (SEI) takes an alternative approach.
Webinar - Introducing the Public Safety Risk Assessment Clearinghouse
