Please join Vera for a panel discussion about LGBTQ youth in juvenile justice featuring an expert researcher, policy maker, and practitioner.
The panelists will discuss research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth in the juvenile justice system and how juvenile justice departments are better serving LGBTQ youth through changes to policy and practice. The discussion will also include considerations for social service agencies and juvenile justice systems in working with youths’ families.
Peer-to-Peer Investigations
Unquestionably, the Internet today provides new and unprecedented opportunities for sex offenders to meet and share explicit images and predation methods. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are one way these individuals share child pornography and other explicit materials. P2P networks allow collectors of child pornography to download and trade movies, images, and pornographic text with others in the network. In effect, individuals in these networks maintain "libraries" of images for others to share.
Online Investigations: Tools, Tips, and Techniques
The constant evolution of technology and its use by criminals is a challenge investigators face on a daily basis. Law enforcement is hard-pressed to stay on top of technological trends—new ways for people to share information online seem to crop up every day. Agencies struggle to get their personnel the knowledge, skills, and capabilities they need to incorporate technology into their investigations. Investigators have an urgent need to learn how to search for, locate, save, and replicate online information relating to all areas of crime.
