SUMMARY:NAPSA - Elder Abuse and Its Consequences: Findings from Waves I and II of the National Elder Mistreatment Study
DESCRIPTION:From NAPSA’s Research-to-Practice Interest Group: This presentation will discuss\, in broad strokes\, findings from Wave I of the NEMS\, which centered on answering the questions “how often” and “with what risk factors;” as well as findings from Wave II eight years later\, which focused on the questions “what are the consequences” and “for whom.” Specifically\, the prevalence of different types of elder mistreatment and risk factors for each type will be discussed in the context of outcomes of abuse and protective factors. This discussion should illustrate some steps communities and community based workers can take to both prevent elder abuse\, and if elder abuse occurs\, prevent or at least limit its negative consequences. \nDate: February 3\, 2021\, 2:00-3:00pm \nPresenter: Ron Acierno\, Phd\, Director\, Trauma and Resilience Center & Vice Chair for Veterans Affairs\, Faillace Department of Psychiatry\, University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston \nRegister

SUMMARY:Racial and Gender Equity in Victim Services Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Coalition for Victims of Child Abuse is hosting a one-day symposium. \n“The Racial and Gender Equity in Victim Services symposium aims to bring child and family service leaders together to discuss how racial and gender equity impact the services that our organizations provide to families. Participants will learn mechanisms of historical trauma and institutional racism within the context of critical race theory\, how poverty\, education\, and other previous trauma contribute to racial inequity and will gain resources and best practices for developing more equitable victim services while also being able to network with others in the field. \nSessions:\n\nHistorical Trauma & Institutional Racism: The objective of this interactive workshop is to provide: \n\na working definition of intergenerational transmission of trauma\, historical trauma\, racial trauma\, and other relevant key terms\nan outline of the mechanisms of historical trauma and institutional/systemic racism within the context of critical race theory and the socio-ecological model\neffective strategies to assist practitioners in addressing and mitigating historical and racial trauma in children and families\n\nRacial Equity in Victim Services: A look beyond Race: Have you ever asked yourself why Black and Brown people are more prone to victimization and trauma? Often the issues lie within the environment that shape their realities. In this discussion\, researcher Storm Ervin will explore contextual factors – such as poverty\, education\, mental health\, and previous trauma – that contribute to racial inequity in victimization experiences and how practitioners can be both aware of and address them. \nCreating a Culture of Belonging: Recognizing Bias and Inequities in the work of Trauma Informed Care: Working with families who have been traumatized can have a significant impact on the service provider. Supporting our families is rewarding and can also cause its own challenges within us (the service provider). This work requires a Trauma Informed approach both for the family and ourselves. We must not only recognize our own trauma but also biases that may keep us from providing effective services\, all while caring for ourselves. The work within our agencies to address policies and practices that further traumatize our families is also a part of this impactful work. Intentional communication keeping in mind cultural needs\, bias\, and the effects of trauma can be one of the effective tools for goal setting and problem-solving. In this session\, participants will recognize biases within themselves that keep them from doing their work. They will also understand and learn the policies and practices that may retraumatize the families they are serving.” \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Legal Services for Victims of Crime: A Model for Program Design and Evaluation 
DESCRIPTION:Crime victim legal services are an important form of victim assistance\, and evaluation research is needed to help guide their implementation. Before evaluation can be conducted\, however\, a clear\, unified conceptual framework and theory of change is needed that outlines what “success” looks like for victim legal services. This webinar aims to provide insight into three questions: \n\nHow is the effectiveness of any victim legal services program defined?\nWhat inputs/ activities/ outputs/ outcomes should be measured for a legal services program focused on victims’ rights enforcement in particular?\nWhat data are needed to evaluate a legal services program?\n\nThis webinar presents this conceptual model\, which was developed as part of an NIJ-funded project by researchers at the Justice Research and Statistics Association\, leading practitioner organization the National Crime Victims Law Institute\, and subject matter experts across multiple areas of victim legal services. It will cover the development of the model itself and how practitioner might apply it to their work. The model provides essential grounding that can guide program design and evaluation across all forms of victim legal services\, including victims’ rights enforcement programs. \n  \nRegister \n  \n

SUMMARY:NIJ Webinar - Delinquency\, Victimization\, and the Developing Brain: Results from the ABCD-Social Development Study
DESCRIPTION:The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development – Social Development Study (ABCD-SD) is a longitudinal study on the relationship between the developing brain and delinquency and victimization. Supplementing ABCD brain and cognitive development measures\, ABCD-SD protocol measures a wide array of delinquency- and victimization-related risks\, protective factors and outcomes. These presentations will describe early adolescent findings from ABCD-SD on delinquency and victimization. \nModerator: Barbara Tatem Kelley\, M.A.\, M.Ed.\, Social Science Research Analyst\, National Institute of Justice \nPresentation 1: Early Adolescent Delinquency and Victimization from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study \nABCD is a longitudinal study examining brain and cognitive development in relation to behavioral and health outcomes in 11\,878 participants starting at ages 9-10 years old across 21 U.S. sites. The ABCD protocol includes neuroimaging\, neuropsychological\, personality\, and psychiatric assessments\, and measurement of various environmental risk factors and protective factors. We will describe the design and assessment aspects of ABCD most pertinent to the study of delinquency and victimization risks and outcomes\, focusing on the age 9-10 year old results. The presentation will also provide a guide for scholars interested in accessing these data for further analyses. \nPresenter: Dr. Duncan B. Clark is Principal Investigator\, (PI) of ABCD-SD and ABCD Pittsburgh Site PI. Applying his background in clinical psychology and psychiatry\, Dr. Clark has contributed to research on adolescent development and related behavioral problems for three decades. Dr. Clark’s influential contributions have integrated developmental and clinical psychology\, clinical medicine\, and neurosciences to better understand the etiology\, prevention\, course\, treatment\, and consequences of adolescent substance use disorders\, disruptive behaviors\, and victimization. \nPresentation 2: The Social Development Study: Initial Findings \nThe ABCD-Social Development Study (ABCD-SD) includes detailed data from approximately 2\,500 children\, on delinquency and victimization. The ABCD-SD study will link data to the ABCD study\, to benefit from biannual brain scans\, and numerous behavioral assessments. The ABCD-SD study is the first prospective longitudinal study to offer future analyses on brain maturation and behavioral problems. This presentation includes the first descriptive results from the ABCD-SD and offers possibilities for external researchers to make use of the data. \nPresenter: Dr. Lia Ahonen is Co-PI of the ABCD Social Development Study\, and an expert in cross disciplinary research on the development\, persistence\, and desistance of juvenile delinquency and crime. Her special interests include violent behavior and mental illness\, predictors of violence and gun violence\, the development of violent crime over time\, the treatment of serious behavioral problems\, and policy issues pertaining to crime and justice in different countries. Her areas of expertise also include organizational development and leadership in institutions providing treatment and services to primarily delinquent youth. Dr Ahonen has a particular interest in bridging the gap between neurobiological science and behavioral science\, and more specifically\, criminology. \nPresentation 3: A Neurodevelopmental Approach to Understanding the Emergence and Persistence of Delinquency Behaviors \nAdolescence is marked by increases in risk-taking and sensation seeking behaviors that are adaptive for the transition to adulthood\, but can also lead to adverse consequences and can set a course of persistent delinquency and substance use. Little is known about delinquency and brain development\, yet understanding the emergence of these behaviors within this context is critical to informing effective preventative and intervention strategies for juvenile offenders. To this end\, the recent large-scale ABCD Social Development study (ABCD-SD) combines longitudinal assessments of delinquency\, victimization\, and substance use with neuroimaging in approximately 2\,500 children (age 9-10). We will discuss exciting new analyses characterizing unique patterns of brain function in adolescents exhibiting delinquency behaviors\, and will discuss how heightened brain plasticity in adolescence can be leveraged as a window of opportunity for the development and implementation of preventative and intervention strategies. \nPresenter: Dr. Ashley Parr is a postdoctoral fellow in the Laboratory of Neurocognitive Development (LNCD) at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research characterizes how developmental changes in reward and cognitive systems support the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Dr. Parr’s research combines longitudinal multimodal neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)\, positron emission tomography (PET)\, and assessments of tissue iron) with detailed neurobehavioral analyses to understand the role of the dopamine-rich frontostriatal system in adolescent cognitive development. Her findings have implications for the emergence of neuropsychiatric disorders\, such as substance use\, mood disorders\, psychopathy\, and schizophrenia\, which emerge during the adolescent period and have been associated with impairments in frontostriatal systems. Dr. Parr has a longstanding interest in the intersection between neuroscience and criminal justice\, particularly with regard to translating findings from normative development to high-risk populations\, such as substance use disorders\, delinquency\, and psychopathology. \n  \nRegister

SUMMARY:Evidence is Power Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Community-based agencies receive growing pressure to implement “evidence-based programs.” That is\, programs that have been studied and deemed “effective” by researchers. But what is considered evidence? And how can community-based agencies build their own evidence of what works in their communities? This webinar will examine these questions and explore the many opportunities and challenges that agencies face when conducting research and evaluations in community settings. We will discuss strategies for agencies to maximize the utility and power of the data they collect. \nPresenter: Dr. Carrie Lippy\, the National LGBTQ Institute on Intimate Partner Violence \nREGISTER: https://events-na1.adobeconnect.com/content/connect/c1/2154191300/en/events/event/shared/default_template_simple/event_registration.html?sco-id=3436761238

SUMMARY:Restorative Justice: Introduction to Contemporary Approaches and Research on Effectiveness
DESCRIPTION:Restorative justice is based on the premise that crime is a violation of people and relationships and therefore it is important to repair the harm caused by a criminal act. Using a variety of different approaches that offer an addition\, or in some cases an alternative to traditional justice system processing\, restorative justice brings the offender\, victim and often others together so that the offender understands and acknowledges their criminal behavior was harmful to others and takes action to repair that harm to the fullest extent possible. This webinar will present an overview of the different restorative justice applications being used in the field along with an introduction to research on restorative justice effectiveness. \nREGISTER \nPresenter: Bailey Maryfield\, M.S. has been a Research Associate at JRSA since October 2016.
