The Justice Counts National Launch will explore the significant
shortcomings of data in the criminal justice system and introduce Justice Counts as a bold solution.

The Court’s Eyes and Ears
The Importance of Interagency Collaboration With Probation
Hosted by the Justice Clearinghouse, this webinar discusses how probation plays an integral part in multiple stages of the justice process including investigation and supervision. However, the input of probation professionals is often overlooked and not taken into account as an offender moves through the system, as well as once he or she is sentenced. Facilitators will discuss the importance of collaboration between probation and the justice system and between prosecutors and judges in high-risk domestic violence cases. Topics to be discussed are the importance of the use of risk assessments tools, judicial bench cards for the sentencing of high-risk offenders, and judicial reviews for sentenced offenders to maintain accountability and victim safety.
When: Thursday, January 27, 2022
