Domestic Violence: Understanding the Data and Policy Webinar
October 23, 2024
Council on Criminal Justice
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 we unpack the research and highlight opportunities related to women’s justice involvement and domestic violence. Speakers include:
- Emily Salisbury, associate professor of social work at the University of Utah, director of the Utah Criminal Justice Center and WJC commissioner
- Marium Durani, vice president of policy at the National Domestic Violence Hotline and expert adviser
- Alex Piquero, professor of sociology and criminology at the University of Miami, former director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and CTWG senior adviser
The conversation will be followed by a Q&A.
