'Research on Pretrial Assessment, Release, and Detention' focus of webinar
The Blueprint for Racial Justice Systemic Change work group of the National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on "Research on Pretrial Assessment, Release, and Detention" Wednesday, April 6, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Understanding and assessing systemic change plays a key role in ensuring courts are delivering equal justice to all. As part of the webinar series "Jumpstarting Your State's Pretrial Improvement," this session will cover information essential for advancing the pretrial system in your state.
Topics will include the empirical research, important issues and practical considerations of pretrial assessment; actuarial assessment tools, including bias and disparity; the effectiveness of pretrial release conditions; and the harms of pretrial detention. Participants will understand how the empirical research has supported the historical and legal foundations of the pretrial system in the United States.
Speaking at the webinar will be Michael Jones, president of Pinnacle Justice Consulting, an organization providing results-focused training and technical assistance to criminal justice systems nationwide.
