Webinar
Using Local Innovation to Address Racial Disparities in Criminal Justice Programs
Hosted by the Council of State Governments Justice Center and funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, this webinar will discuss how communities across the country are seeking to implement effective criminal justice programs to enhance public safety and reduce recidivism. It is essential for local leaders to prioritize racial equity when developing, launching, and evaluating programs. While Black, indigenous, and people of color are overrepresented in the criminal justice system, they often do not receive equal access to criminal justice programs that can address their needs and improve successful outcomes. This discussion-based webinar will highlight local innovations in municipal criminal justice programs from Charlotte, North Carolina; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and St. Louis, Missouri. This webinar is intended for local stakeholders invested in launching programs at the intersection of criminal justice and behavioral health that address racial inequities and disparate outcomes.
When: Tuesday, August 9, 2022
Time: 2:00 – 3:30 p.m., ET
