SUMMARY:Facilitación que Transforma: Construyendo Comunidades Virtuales Transformative Facilitation: Building Virtual Communities
DESCRIPTION:A muchas organizaciones de violencia doméstica\, la pandemia les ha llevado a cambiar la forma en que se ofrecen algunos servicios de apoyo. Es decir\, hoy en día muchos servicios de apoyo son ofrecidos virtualmente\, adaptándose así a la pandemia y a las restricciones con respecto a encuentros presenciales. Los grupos de apoyo son una parte importante de la intercesión de sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica. \nHistóricamentes\, han sido una forma de cultivar conexiones sociales entre sobrevivientes. El cambio a plataformas virtuales resalta que la facilitación efectiva de grupos de apoyo es fundamental para fomentar participación\, apoyo mutuo entre sobrevivientes e incluso procesos de sanidad. Los mismos principios se pueden aplicar a sesiones de escucha\, los grupos focales/de discusión y otros grupos en nuestras organizaciones. \nEste seminario web conversacional explorará las formas en que el campo debe adaptarse para construir comunidades virtuales efectivas. Afirmamos que crear un ambiente que invite la participación y que sea accesible puede fomentar cercanía aún cuando estemos físicamente separades.\nFor many domestic violence organizations\, the pandemic has led to shifting how advocacy supports are delivered. That is\, many supports are now being offered virtually to accommodate the pandemic quarantine and in-person restrictions. \nSupport groups\, a cornerstone of domestic violence advocacy\, have historically been one way to cultivate social connectedness for survivors. With the move to virtual platforms\, we know that effective facilitation is critical to engagement\, peer support\, and even healing in a support group space. The same principles can be applied to listening sessions\, focus groups and other groups across our organizations. \nThis conversational webinar will explore build engaging virtual communities. We assert that creating an environment that invites participation and centers access can bring us closer even when we are physically apart. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Elder Justice Decision-Making Capacity Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Every day the lives of older adults are profoundly and negatively impacted in both the criminal and civil justice systems based on mistaken assumptions and inadequate assessments of their capacity to make decisions for themselves. In order to raise greater awareness of these issues and improve how elder justice professionals approach these issues\, the Department of Justice will be hosting the Elder Justice Decision-Making Capacity Symposium\, a three-day virtual conference on April 19-21. \nThe Symposium will highlight what we know today about the aging brain and its impact on decisionmaking\, and discuss the protocols and tools available to assess decision-making capacity. The Symposium will then focus on the myriad of ways that perceptions of an older adult’s decision-making capacity can have profound implications on their treatment in criminal and civil proceedings. These may include elder abuse or fraud prosecutions not being pursued; unnecessary or inappropriate guardianships being imposed; and civil legal remedies being denied to older victims of elder abuse\, neglect and financial exploitation.   \nBy shedding light on the latest science as well as best clinical\, legal and judicial practices\, the Symposium aims to increase access to justice while promoting the self-determination of older adults. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:High Prevalence of Elder Abuse during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Risk and Resilience Factors
DESCRIPTION:From the National Adult Protective Services Association and Evidence Change: \nPrior to the COVID-19 pandemic\, elder abuse affected one in 10 older adults annually in the U.S. It has been assumed that the pandemic has brought with it a surge in elder abuse due to individuals ordered to stay at home combined with increased interpersonal\, social\, and financial stressors. However\, empirical evidence is lacking. This webinar will present data from the first investigation of self-reported elder abuse victimization in a relatively large and diverse sample of older persons. The presenter will describe elder abuse prevalence and risk and resilience factors for abuse victimization during the ongoing pandemic. The findings will be discussed in relation to practice\, policy\, and implications for prevention programming. \nClick here for the study article. \nJOIN  \nPresenter: \nE-Shien (Iggy) Chang\, Ph.D.\nPostdoctoral Fellow in Behavioral Geriatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine’s Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine \nDr. E-Shien (Iggy) Chang is a NIH-supported Postdoctoral Fellow in Behavioral Geriatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine’s Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine. Iggy’s research program seeks to investigate and dismantle mechanisms of elder abuse and neglect across diverse cultural\, family\, and care settings. Her doctoral dissertation work was among the first to systematically examined the role of ageism\, operating at both societal and individual levels\, in driving elder abuse perpetration. Iggy completed her PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences at Yale School of Public Health and her MA in Social Sciences at University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Assessing the Scope of Missing Native Americans in Nebraska: Results from a State-Wide Study and Recommendations
DESCRIPTION:National Indian Country Training Initiative Announcement  \nThe problem of missing persons has gained significant attention\, and recent legislation in multiple states has called for studies on the scope of missing Native Americans. This webinar will describe the methodological and practical issues for researchers to consider when examining data on missing persons\, and present the issues that make reporting and investigating missing Native persons particularly challenging. Using data from four point-in-time-counts of missing persons in Nebraska in 2020\, the presenters will report the prevalence and context of Nebraska’s missing persons and missing Native persons\, and describe stability and change across demographic groups over time. The presenters also collected qualitative data from victim service providers regarding ways to support families and loved ones of missing persons. \nResults indicate that missing persons cases are dynamic and most cases are resolved quickly. Further\, the rate of missing persons and the rank order positions of demographic groups is relatively stable over time. Reported missing persons are disproportionately African American and Native American and are most likely to be minor boys. None of the missing Native cases were associated with a criminal investigation\, and more Native missing persons cases were resolved than missing persons cases from other racial groups. Further\, there was very little overlap between the state clearinghouse and the national missing persons lists. The presenters will provide specific directions for data collection\, legislative priorities\, and researcher-practitioner partnerships regarding the study of missing persons generally and missing Native Americans specifically. They will also address the potential role of missing persons advocacy in supporting families and communities.  There is no cost for attending this webinar. \nThis media and materials are for Department of Justice use and subject to protection from release under the Freedom of Information Act\, 5 U.S.C. section 552. \nThe Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) will provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Measuring Outcomes in Response to Victims of Crime
DESCRIPTION:Defining and designing the most useful and impactful measures for the outcomes of crime victim services is an essential step to assess the effectiveness and quality of those services for victims\, to justify funding allocations and demonstrate responsible stewardship of funds\, and to advocate for additional resources as necessary. Outcome measurement helps move the field from measuring level of effort in victim response (outputs) towards measuring the impacts of those efforts. Important considerations in outcome measure selection and design include identifying the key outcomes and impacts desired\, the preciseness and accuracy of the measures selected to capture those outcomes\, the on-the-ground practicality of collecting meaningful data for those measures without creating undue burden. This webinar will be useful for victim services professionals\, evaluators\, academics\, and funders alike. \nThis webinar will present three federally funded projects examining the development of appropriate outcome measures for victim response. The first two presentations will showcase conceptual modeling processes that were undertaken to define the ultimate goals of services and how provision of those services is intended to promote those goals. “What Constitutes Success? Evaluating Legal Services for Victims of Crime” is a project to measure outcomes related to law enforcement responses to domestic/dating violence\, sexual assault\, and stalking. “Measuring Success in the Criminal Justice System’s Response to VAWA Crimes: A Pilot Project” is related to legal services for victims of crime. “Developing a Self-Report Survey to Measure the Impact of Victim Services on Victims’ Lives” will encompass a compilation of existing work around logic models and outcome measures for victim responses representing a larger spectrum of victim services\, which will culminate in the development of a standardized methodology and set of instruments to measure outcomes for victims across all types of victim service providers. Presentations will be followed by time for Q&A and discussion. \nPresentations: \n\nWhat Constitutes Success?

SUMMARY:Advances in Human Trafficking Victim Identification
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will present findings from two forward-thinking human trafficking studies that focus on human trafficking victim identification. This webinar will be of keen interest to investigators\, victim services and health professionals\, administrators of escort ad web scraping tools and databases\, academics\, and anyone interested in more precise tools to support the process of identifying human trafficking victims. \nBoth projects have resulted in key insights that can be used to better identify individuals most at risk of human trafficking and we look forward to sharing them with you. \nIndicators of Sex Trafficking in Online Escort Ads  \nPresents results from a study exploring the use of escort ads in U.S. sex trafficking investigations. It tests whether many commonly-used indicators or “signs” of trafficking indeed indicate a higher likelihood that the individual being advertised is a trafficking victim versus an independent person advertising commercial sex. Its unique contribution is that it tests indicators being used in the field against a counterfactual (known case outcomes) in order to identify differences in the presence of various indicators between ads known to be part of a trafficking case and those known to be part of a case that involves consensual sex work\, but not trafficking. \nPresenters: \n\nKris Lugo-Graulich\nKaren Souza\nLindsay Bostwick\nBailey Maryfield \n\nJustice Research and Statistics Association \nHuman Trafficking Screening Tool for LGBTQAI Victims: Different Experiences\, Risks and Needs \n  \nRequirements for a trafficking victim identification tool for LGBTQAI (lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, questioning/ queer\, asexual\, or intersex) people are explored via a series of key informant interviews with public health providers. The authors argue that this community faces dangers where they are uniquely susceptible to labor and sex trafficking. Due to their high-risk status\, the LGBTQAI population require an effective\, specialized screening tool. This project is in the development phase\, and later we will validate this tool in public health settings. \nPresenters: \n\nAmber Horning and Heidi Collins Fantasia\, University of Massachusetts-Lowell\nSara Jordenö\, Rhode Island School of Design\n\n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Multilevel Evaluation of Project Safe Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:Multilevel Evaluation of Project Safe Neighborhoods \nPanel Chair: Jim Trudeau\, Ph.D.\, RTI International \nPanel Abstract: Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a DOJ-sponsored initiative to reduce violent crime\, particularly gun crime\, by fostering cooperation by criminal justice agencies and local partners to develop and implement strategic approaches. \nThis panel presents information about the enhanced PSN model implemented since 2018 and the national evaluation being conducted by RTI International and the Justice Research and Statistics Association. The evaluation includes a national assessment including all 94 districts across the U.S. and territories and case studies in 10 carefully selected districts. Both components address outcomes (violent crime\, arrests and prosecutions)\, implementation (e.g.\, how PSN principles were implemented; partnership composition and functioning) and how implementation is associated with outcomes. \nFollowing an overview of PSN and the national evaluation\, we will delve into the design and initial findings of the national assessment and case studies\, respectively. We will also discuss the implications of the FBI’s move away from the UCR Summary Reporting System to incident-based data for the evaluation and how the project team is adapting to this changing environment. Discussants include the PSN Coordinator from the Northern District of Illinois and NIJ’s scientific advisor to this project. \nProposed Panel setting: 15 minutes for each presentation and 20 minutes for introductions\, Discussant comments\, and Q&A. \nTopics – Presenters: \n\nOverview of PSN and the National Evaluation – Jim Trudeau\, Ph.D.\, RTI International\nNational Assessment: Design and Initial Findings – Lynn Langton\, Ph.D.\, RTI International\nUS Crime Data Infrastructure and Implications for a National Evaluation – Roger Przybylski\, Ph.D.\, JRSA\nCase Studies: Design and Initial Findings – Chris Lindquist\, Ph.D.\, RTI International\nDiscussants: Basia E.

SUMMARY:Web chat with Dr. Liz Miller on Healing Justice and Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Life Paths Research Center is pleased to announce their next webchat\, which will feature Dr. Elizabeth Miller discussing her work on violence prevention\, gender transformative approaches to working with youth\, and her latest thoughts about the intersections between social justice and prevention. Dr. Miller will be interviewed by Dr. Katie Schultz. \nDr. Liz Miller is Professor of Pediatrics\, Public Health\, and Clinical and Translational Science and holds the Edmund R. McCluskey Chair in Pediatric Medical Education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Elizabeth Miller also directs the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine and maintains an active research program focused on reducing gender-based violence to improve adolescent health with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)\, the CDC\, the Office on Women’s Health\, and foundations. Examples of research include a cluster-randomized\, controlled trial of a gender-based violence-prevention program\, funded by the CDC\, which involves training coaches to encourage their middle-school male athletes to recognize and stop disrespectful and harmful behaviors toward girls. Another CDC-funded study involves testing a gender transformative program (addressing healthy masculinity and sexuality) among African American males ages 13–19 in 20 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. Another cluster-randomized\, controlled trial is testing a brief sexual assault intervention (NIAAA R01) at student health centers on 28 college campuses. \nMiller also serves as research consultant to Futures Without Violence\, a national nonprofit organization providing resources to health care providers in their efforts to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault. Project Connect\, a national training project funded by the Office on Women’s Health\, involves work with states and tribal organizations on the integration of partner-violence prevention and intervention into public health programs\, specifically reproductive health\, adolescent health\, and maternal-child health programs. Miller has served as the evaluator for this project as well as a similar project located in community health centers in California\, funded by the Blue Shield of California Foundation. \nDr. Katie Schultz is an Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of Michigan and an enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Drawing on community-based participatory research approaches\, her research focuses primarily on responding to violence and understanding community and cultural connectedness in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. She is interested in innovative conceptual and methodological approaches to research with tribal communities and health promotion rooted in Indigenous knowledges and sustainable solutions by and for Native peoples. Her current projects include a study focused on risk and protective factors related to justice-involvement among a Native population; investigating social networks and associations with substance use\, violence\, and suicide among American Indian adolescents; and collaborating with a statewide coalition to develop research to address violence among tribal communities in Michigan. \nREGISTER \nFree\, but donations to Life Paths Research Center are invited to support webinars like these.

SUMMARY:Measuring Race and Racism in Studies of Research Use
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the William T. Grant Foundation and the Forum for Youth Investment\, this event\, Measuring Race and Racism in Studies of Research Use\, is the fourth webinar in a series focused on bringing critical race perspectives to research that examines how to improve the use of research evidence in policy and practice. Past webinars have addressed the ways race matters for how research is used\, what research is used\, and whose research is used. This session focuses on concrete strategies for incorporating attention to race in a study’s research design. \nPanelists will share examples\, strategies\, and challenges related to the conceptualization and operationalization of race in research design. This webinar is targeted toward researchers who want to develop richer and more nuanced approaches to examining race in their own research. \nWe invite you to join us on November 15\, 2pm – 4pm ET to think together about how to meaningfully measure race and racism in studies that examine strategies to improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth. \nSpeakers: \n• Amanda E. Lewis\, Director of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Black Studies and Sociology\, University of Illinois at Chicago \n• Johanna S. Quinn\, Assistant Professor of Sociology\, Fordham University \n• June Ahn\, Associate Professor of Learning Sciences and Research Practice Partnerships\, University of California\, Irvine \n• Meredith I.
