On May 4, NCVC hosted a webinar focused on domestic violence issues and concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specific topics included viable solutions for those at the federal level to reach out and connect with state and local service providers, successful strategies Safe Horizon and other service providers have implemented to combat this issue, and recommendations for law enforcement responses through strategies aimed at innovative methods for court access, shelter, safety plans, and increased use of technology.
In the past two months, prosecutors' offices and court systems across the nation have seen their daily work to maintain constitutional justice uprooted, altered, and halted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, in response to George Floyd’s death, the criminal justice system also began facing calls for expanded police accountability. The role of the prosecutor is changing rapidly and the steps that prosecutors take in the upcoming months could impact the justice system for years to come.
Join CNA and the National District Attorneys Association for their upcoming webinar on June 16, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Attendees will learn about three offices’ experiences throughout COVID-19 and the challenges that prosecutors will face in future months.
This virtual meeting will provide an overview of the current statutory framework for community supervision and prison release that enables a rapid response to COVID-19 and highlight policies of concern to states during the pandemic. Attendees will also hear from practitioners about how policy is playing out in the justice system and have an opportunity to ask questions.
