NCORJ hosted a webinar about restorative justice legislation and the key components for establishing legal frameworks that support the implementation, expansion, and sustainability of restorative justice in the criminal legal context.

NCORJ is hosting a webinar series that highlights restorative justice work in different geographic regions across the United States. Attendees are invited to listen and learn about different implementation models from restorative justice practitioners, researchers, community-based organizations, and system actors.

The NCJA Center for Justice Planning and Data Center, in collaboration with Connecticut’s SAA Office (OPM) and their Statistical Analysis Center, is spearheading the development of the state’s 2026 strategic plan. This initiative includes a robust statewide survey designed to engage public safety and community-based organizations, including law enforcement, rural organizations, victim services, and violence prevention programs.

The development of a guidance document and reference material outlining best practices for establishing JAG Advisory Boards for the Nebraska SAA's office is underway. This board will play a crucial role in supporting NCC's comprehensive strategic planning efforts.

USVI LEPC requested NCJA assistance in facilitating discussions with their stakeholders regarding the newly implemented USVI behavioral health act and criminal justice data sharing over the course of two days. Day 1 focused on SIM mapping and discussions of regarding risk factors, community responses and environmental designs related to the behavioral health act and criminal justice policy programming. I acted in a support role via note-taking for the the NCJA facilitators.

Inspired by the recently released Guidance on Meaningful Community Engagement, this webinar highlighted key insights from the document. It focused on strategies for engaging with community-based organizations, enhancing language accessibility, and improving accessibility in data collection and evaluation. These topics were explored by a diverse panel of subject matter experts, including former SAAs, retired law enforcement chiefs, NCJA Data Center staff, and language access specialists.

CSG Justice Center staff met to discuss the ISI project, upcoming activities, and timelines for the project.

The CSG Justice Center completed one virtual Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry (CSCR) site visit with FY22 grantee Scioto Paint Valley, OH. The purpose of this virtual visit was to meet with the youth side of the program since they were not available for an in-person site visit in August. Topics included programming for youth with felony charges, behavioral health needs, and moderate to high criminogenic risk in the Miami Valley Juvenile Rehabilitation Center.
