Meeting the Needs of Justice-Involved Women: Specialized Court Responses to Victim-Defendants

Webinar from the Center for Court
Innovation
Meeting the Needs of Justice-Involved Women:
Specialized Court Responses to Victim-Defendants
Thursday, March 30th / 3:00 p.m. EST (90 minutes)
Content: Research on justice system responses has shown that a one size-fits-all approach is not
effective. For female defendants, it is especially critical that their needs are met in an individualized,
gender-responsive way. Justice-involved women have complex histories of trauma and abuse that
can be masked if courts aren’t assessing them effectively. This can be complicated further when the
line between victim and defendant blurs, particularly in cases involving intimate partner violence and
human trafficking.
This webinar will discuss best practices for working with justice-involved women. It will highlight the
work of the Queens Human Trafficking Intervention Court in New York, which has a Hidden Victims
Project that identifies victims of human trafficking and links them to services.

There is a lot of confusion around what the Duluth Model is.  Is it the same as a CCR?  Is it a men’s non-violence group?   In this webinar Scott Miller and Melissa Scaia will discuss the difference between:

1. The Duluth Model

2. A Coordinated Community Response (CCR) and

3. A men’s non-violence program ( batterers intervention program)

A Best Practice Assessment of Your Civil Protection Order System

Do you want to evaluate the effectiveness of part of or even your entire civil protection order system? Conducting this type of an assessment can seem daunting. Many agencies and system actors, as well as their policies, procedures and duties, are involved in this type of an evaluation. NCPOFFC has created “Engaging in a Best Practice Assessment of the Civil Protection Order System” to help simplify and guide the evaluation process. This assessment tool is an easy way to discover where a protection order system needs improvement and to also highlight procedures or policies that conform to best practices. It is a low cost option for a jurisdiction of any size seeking to conduct a review of their system and address any gaps to survivor safety and offender accountability. This interactive webinar will provide detailed information on this easy to use tool and the support that NCPOFFC is available to provide to jurisdictions conducting an assessment.
