With resources on the decline, continuing to fund the same programs year after year is no longer an option for public safety and justice agencies. This requires a rethinking of strategies. Realigning resources to promote smart strategic planning and collaboration is now a necessity. Restructuring partnerships and promoting innovative evidence-based and data driven programs are now the norm. It's all part of realizing the goal of keeping communities safe. The 2012 National Forum will help participants refocus their efforts on this new reality. Sponsored by the National Criminal Justice Association and the IJIS Institute the 2012 National Forum on Criminal Justice and Public Safety showcases programs and technologies that help justice practitioners and decision makers in states, local communities and tribal nations address pressing public safety issues today and in the future. Last year 91 percent of attendees reported that they learned useful strategies and ideas that they could take home and implement immediately. Eighty-seven percent of attendees said the Forum was important for their professional development. Workshop topics include: American Indian Cultural Education for Crime Prevention and Recidivism Reduction; Information Sharing Standards and Priorities; Women's Pathways to Jail: The roles and intersections of serious mental illness and trauma; Law Enforcement's Leadership Role in Juvenile Justice Reform; Programs to Reduce Guns and Gangs in Indian Country; The Promise and Perils of Using Social Media in Investigations; Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs and Interstate Data Sharing Efforts; Preventing the Next Hate Crime; Partnering for Impact & Success; New Frontiers in Regional Information Sharing- Pawn, License Plate Readers and Related Privacy Issues; Determining the Value Premise of Technology; Swift, Certain and Consistent Sanctions- an examination of HOPE and similar promising strategies; Framing the Message; Focusing on the Mentally Ill: Pre-Trial Diversion, Assessment and Treatment; Statewide Victim Automatic Notification (SAVIN): Where it is Today and in the Future; Risk, Needs & Responsivity (RNR) simulation tool; Performance Incentive Funding: Strengthening Local Capacity through Strategic Public Policy; Strategic Planning for Victim Services; Hot Trends and Innovations at Nlets; Lessons from Tribal Courts: Using Traditional Tribal Justice Practices to Enhance State Court Systems; and Research Report & Dissemination on State Agency Administrator Evidence Based Program Decision Making.
