SUMMARY:The Youth Protective Factors Study: Risk\, Strengths\, and Reoffending
DESCRIPTION:NIJ announced this webinar on The Youth Protective Factors Study: Effective Supervision and Services Based on Risks\, Strengths\, and Development\, an unprecedented\, multistate\, multiyear examination of the risk and protective factors that most influence reoffending—particularly serious offenses that involve physical harm to others—among youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system.   \nResearchers recently released the first of a series of briefs associated with this study that provide key insights into the risk factors most associated with youth reoffending.   \nJoin The Council of State Governments Justice Center\, UMass Chan Medical School\, and the University of California–Berkeley as principal researchers share findings from this initial analysis\, including research-based strategies for juvenile justice supervision\, case planning\, and service delivery to enhance public safety and improve youth outcomes.  \nLearn More and Register

SUMMARY:New Findings on Firearms Violence in the United States
DESCRIPTION:This webinar focuses on new research findings from National Collaborative on Gun Violence Researcher (NCGVR)-funded projects on a diverse set of topics. \nIn the first presentation\, Michelle Degli Esposti\, Ph.D.\, explores the geographic and demographic disparities in firearm mortality rates across the United States over three decades. Highlighting significant regional differences in suicide and homicide rates\, this research pinpoints geographical hot spots where firearm homicides and suicides have increased or decreased with unusual speed\, an analysis that could help inform targeted prevention strategies and policies. \nNext\, Hannah Laqueur\, Ph.D\, presents an investigation into the movement of firearms from legal sales to criminal hands in California. By analyzing a vast dataset of crime guns and legal transactions\, the study reveals the changing dynamics of criminal firearm commerce\, including the rise of privately manufactured firearms\, the role of theft and “dirty” dealers in supplying crime guns\, and risk factors identifying firearms likely to be used in crimes. \nIn the final presentation\, Bruce Taylor\, Ph.D.\, discusses results of a survey of law enforcement agencies about violence against officers\, including officer-involved shootings\, and what predicts it. Survey responses showed that such violence is relatively rare\, but that it affects agencies of all sizes across the country. \nLearn more and REGISTER

SUMMARY:Using Research to Enhance Incorporation of Victim Services
DESCRIPTION:Research can provide agencies with objective data\, evaluation of that data\, and examples to base foundational decisions for incorporating law enforcement-based victim services. Lessons learned from these efforts can contribute to ongoing strategic planning and sustainability of services. Using research information and tools can enhance the ability to meet the needs of victims and co-victims. \nJoin the Justice Clearinghouse for this engaging session on how research can inform staffing\, services\, and measurement for a victim services organization. Amy Durall will moderate a panel of presenters: Elizabeth Tibaduiza\, Lynn Langton\, and Susan Howley. \nREGISTER \n

SUMMARY:Domestic Violence: Understanding the Data and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Women’s contact with the criminal justice system has trended upward over the last several decades\, and their pathways into the justice system often include domestic violence. How do these experiences influence trends among justice-involved women? How can we better track domestic violence incidents to understand their prevalence? And how can the criminal justice system—and policymakers—better acknowledge the relevance of domestic violence when addressing women’s justice involvement? Join experts from the Council on Criminal Justice Women’s Justice Commission (WJC) and Crime Trends Working Group (CTWG) as they unpack the research and highlight opportunities related to women’s justice involvement and domestic violence. \nLearn more and REGISTER.

SUMMARY:Funding Safety: Crises and Opportunities For Violence Prevention Efforts
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar from the Joyce Foundation\, researchers from NYU and the University of Baltimore School of Law will discuss recent papers on strategies to sustain and expand funding for community violence intervention (CVI) and related programs\, including improving access to victim compensation for underserved victims.
