recidivism

In “An Approach to High Lethality Domestic Violence Offenders: The Accountability Court Model,” supervising officers, judges, and attorneys will be exposed to the important elements of risk assessment, monitoring, communication, and community stakeholders in the function of supervising high-lethality offenders in a high-lethality accountability court or on a specialized domestic violence high-risk caseload.

Course objectives include:

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) requests that BJA's National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) support travel for two individuals to present the workshop "Beyond Collaboration: Using Intelligence-Driven Prosecution to Reduce Recidivism" at the American Probation and Parole Association's 41st Annual Training Institute.

Please join the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) on June 1 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET for the “Juvenile Treatment” webinar. This webinar will review the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of treatment for juveniles who commit a sexual offense. The webinar will focus on what is scientifically known about the impact of treatment on recidivism and will present key findings from single studies of juvenile treatment effectiveness as well as from research that synthesizes the results of many juvenile treatment effectiveness studies.

Given the prevalence of sexual offending by juveniles, and the potential links between sexually abusive behavior during adolescence or childhood and sexual offending later in life, therapeutic interventions for juveniles have become a staple of sex offender management practice in jurisdictions across the country.

Met with DOC staff managing SRR project to discuss their P&I Guide responses and consider recommendations for their proposal. Also attended a working meeting convened by Secretary Wetzel: As one of only 13 national agencies to be selected as recipient of the Second Chance Recidivism Reduction Planning Grant for the year 2013, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC) is reaching out to fellow statewide agencies in an effort to request support and continued action in fulfilling our common goal: reducing the ongoing problem of recidivism.

Met with SRR planning team workgroups to provide updates templates, discuss coordination with JRI work on parole, and faciliate continued strategic planning around sections 3 and 4 of the P&I Guide.
