SUMMARY:Update on the NCVS Instrument Redesign: Juvenile Testing Efforts
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will describe findings from a three-pronged testing effort designed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to produce knowledge and findings toward improving participation and the measurement of victimization among youth ages 12 to 17 as part of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Redesign Research and Development Program. \nThe testing effort involved 1) conducting youth cognitive testing on the redesigned NCVS instrument 2) gathering feedback from youth and their parents on NCVS participation and 3) conducting a proxy test with youth and their parents. It will highlight feedback from youth and their parents on factors that would encourage or hinder NCVS participation\, the suitability and comprehension of the redesigned instrument for youth\, and the alignment of survey responses between parents and youth. \nLive captioning will be available. \nPresenters: \nGrace Kena\, Statistician\, BJS \nChristine Lindquist\, PhD\, Senior Research Sociologist\, RTI International \nSarah Cook\, Research Public Health Analyst\, RTI International \nChristopher Krebs\, PhD\, Senior Research Social Scientist\, RTI International \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Creating a Model Victims Compensation Policy Guidelines for Lawmakers to Advance New Safety Solutions
DESCRIPTION:From Alliance for Safety and Justice and Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice: \nWhile victims’ compensation programs are designed to offer aid to crime victims to help them recover from the crime\, there are systemic barriers in law\, policy\, and practice that limit the reach of these services. The Alliance for Safety and Justice and Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice have been working around the country with Republican and Democratic lawmakers to reform victims’ compensation systems by removing discriminatory barriers\, cutting through red tape\, and delivering relief within the timeframe that victims say makes all the difference in their recovery. Join us for the webinar on June 21st\, 3 pm EST\, to hear from crime survivor leaders\, community-based victims service providers\, and policymakers that have advanced reforms to the victims’ compensation system so that more victims can get the critical help they need\, and what model guidelines to reform these systems looks like. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Top 10 Priorities for Sexual Violence and Abuse Research
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019\, a group of experts by experience and experts by profession have been working together to identify research priorities around the support and recovery needs of survivors. \nThis is an important initiative urgently needed due to the scarcity of sexual violence research. We hope this work will be a spring board for future investigations\, service improvements and bespoke clinical guidelines. These findings have the power to very influential so we welcome researchers\, funders and anybody who has a vested interested in this topic to come along. \nTopics covered include: support and recovery outcomes valued by survivors\, how to best support marginalised groups\, tackling stigma in society and the impact of involvement with the criminal justice system. \nCome along to this event to find out what key stakeholders identified as the top 10 priorities! \nSpeakers include: \nDr Filippo Varese \nRabiya Majeed-Ariss
