Around the country, criminal justice systems are transitioning from cash-based to risk-based pretrial detention models. This webinar will address defenders’ questions about what this means for their work, including:
- What is the risk-needs-responsivity model?
- Do risk assessments help my clients?
- How do I make sure risk assessments are used correctly?
- What effect do risk assessments have on racial and ethnic disparities?
Presenters:
- Sarah Fritsche, Deputy Director, Research-Practice Strategies, Center for Court Innovation
- Amanda Berman, Director, Red Hook Community Justice Center
- Michela Lowry, Senior Associate, Training and Technical Assistance, Center for Court Innovation
This webinar is presented with support from the John D. and Catherine C. MacArthur Foundation Safety + Justice Challenge, an initiative to reduce over-incarceration by changing the way America thinks about and uses jails.
