Abstract:
The integrality of the criminal justice system must be realized in every aspect of sub-systems, in substance, structure, and legal culture. In this respect, in the process of criminal justice, the three sub-systems’ integrality are required so that the criminal justice system is capable to produce fair legal decisions in the process of law enforcement in Indonesia. Until such a policy is undertaken, the law will always be harsh against the poor and weak against the rich. This paper discusses criminal objectives integrality in Indonesian criminal justice system and its influence in the integrated criminal justice system. Using a normative juridical method, this paper demonstrates that each sub-system of criminal justice (the Police, Prosecutors, Courts, and the prison) is in line with the main objectives of criminal law enforcement as found in various laws that govern the institutions.

Abstract:
Although the impact of procedural justice on citizens’ satisfaction with the police and other branches of the criminal justice system has been tested in several geopolitical contexts, this is the first study to examine the relative impacts of police procedural justice, lawyer procedural justice, and judge procedural justice on satisfaction with a country’s criminal justice system. To assess the universal applicability of procedural justice, scholars must carry out research in all geopolitical regions. However, sub-Saharan Africa appears to be a region that scholars have neglected for far too long. As a result, the current study assesses the relative impacts of three strands of procedural justice—police, lawyer, and judge—on satisfaction with the criminal justice system in Kenya. Using a sample of 523 students from a prominent Kenyan university, we found that all three strands of procedural justice predicted satisfaction with Kenya’s criminal justice system under the country’s new Constitution, although judge procedural justice exerted the strongest influence on satisfaction. Also, less highly educated students (first-year students, compared to sophomores, juniors, and seniors) and male students were more satisfied with Kenya’s criminal justice system. The study’s implications for policy and future research are discussed.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the concept of social worker sentencing policy, and to know the criminal law of social work as a solution to reduce overcapacity in Indonesian Correctional Institutions. This study uses a normative juridical method with analytical descriptive specifications. The findings showed that the current policy of imposing criminal sanctions is felt to be ineffective because every criminal who is proven and has the power of law to carry out legal proceedings in prison is still not appropriate if the weight of the crime is a minor offenses. As a solution, the imposition of criminal sanctions on social workers has been determined to be appropriate. It is necessary to have a criminal law policy so that what becomes a legal issue can be resolved effectively, likewise with the effectiveness of the provision of prison sentences, which are no longer in accordance with prison conditions, leading to an increase of 500 to 900 percent, which eliminates the duties and functions of Correctional Institutions as a coaching and protection institution for convicts. In conclusion, the policy of imposing criminal penalties on social workers is appropriate in order to reduce over capacity.

Abstract:
In this study the issues to be discussed are: the policy positive criminal law in the prosecution of perpetrators of criminal acts of a child, criminal law policy of foreign countries in the prosecution of perpetrators of criminal acts of children and the barriers prosecutor in carrying out the task of prosecuting perpetrators of criminal acts of child and how the efforts countermeasures. The research method that will be used is the juridical sociological approach. In order to obtain primary data and secondary data that is accurate to the writing of this study, the data collection by means of a literature study to find materials relating to the principles and rules of law relating to criminal procedure law and the criminal justice system of children. Based on the results of this research is still fragmented between the investigator and the prosecutor so that ultimately the criminal justice system is not optimal child be a solution to cope with the child as a criminal. The issue of children as criminals not only be approached only by using purely legal approach, but also must use the instrument of social and economic approaches. That in conducting the prosecution against children, public prosecutors are often encountered problems due to its law system, the apparatus structure and legal culture. therefore it is necessary for the reconstruction of the criminal justice system of Indonesia, so it can be used as a reference for events that are special laws such as the juvenile justice system.Keywords: Comparative, Policy, Criminal Law.

Abstract:
In his book, Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, Daniel Mears writes about what he calls the Systems Improvement Solution, also called the Systems Solution. The Systems Solution is his solution for the way criminal justice policy is currently handled. Mears is an influential criminologist who is also the Mark C. Stafford Professor of Criminology at the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Mears, n.d.). Along with Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, he is the author of Fundamentals of Criminological and Criminal Justice Inquiry, Prisoner Reentry in the Era of Mass Incarceration, and American Criminal Justice Policy (Mears, n.d.). He is well-versed in his field of criminal justice, research, and policy; his research has also been featured in multiple journals and media outlets (Mears, n.d.). In Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, Mears discusses every aspect concerning his Systems Solution- what a system is as a whole, the innerworkings of a system, how the Systems Solution can be used in other fields besides criminal justice, the emphasis on research, the multi-stakeholder policy process, the benefits of a Systems Solution, and many other pieces needed for a Systems Improvement Solution.

Abstract:
Although the influence of procedural justice on citizens’ satisfaction and cooperation with police has been tested in several geopolitical contexts, this is the first study to examine the relationship between procedural justice and satisfaction with Kenya’s police and Kenya’s criminal justice system on a Kenyan college campus. Using a sample of 523 students from a prominent Kenyan university, we found that procedural justice and officer integrity predicted satisfaction with both Kenya’s police and criminal justice system. Also, more highly educated students (sophomores, juniors, and seniors, compared to freshmen) were more satisfied with both the Kenyan police and criminal justice system. Conversely, victims of crime in the community were less satisfied with Kenyan police, and students who had a negative personal experience with police were less satisfied with the country’s criminal justice system. Although instrumental factors of policing (e.g., police effectiveness) were not tested in this study, thus precluding a comparative assessment of normative and instrumental models of policing, this study contributes to the extant literature by pointing out the salience of procedural justice and officer integrity for improving the relationship between the police and the communities they are sworn to serve. The study’s implications for policy are discussed.

Abstract:
This article aims to find out the general concept of restorative justice for children and to analyze the concept of restorative justice through the diversion system in Act No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System for the settlement of child criminal cases in Indonesia. In certain cases, children who are perpetrators of criminal acts are of particular concern to law enforcement officials. Therefore, various efforts to prevent and overcome children in conflict with the law need to be carried out immediately. Efforts to prevent and overcome children in conflict with the law today are through the implementation of a juvenile criminal justice system. To carry out guidance and provide protection for children, support is needed, both concerning institutions and more adequate legal instruments. One solution that can be taken in solving cases of juvenile crime is a diversion system. Diversion is not a peaceful effort but a form of punishment against children who are in conflict with the law in an informal way. Diversion is carried out to provide protection and rehabilitation to perpetrators in an effort to prevent children from becoming adult criminals. Diversion of child perpetrators of criminal acts is carried out by the three components of the criminal justice system in Indonesia, from the police, prosecutors to courts. Diversion is carried out to provide protection and rehabilitation to perpetrators in an effort to prevent children from becoming adult criminals. Diversion of child perpetrators of criminal acts is carried out by the three components of the criminal justice system in Indonesia, from the police, prosecutors to courts.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to understand changes in the criminal justice system and their effects on policy and practice within the probation service In England and Wales. Towards this aim it utilises the techniques of participant observation, interviews, documentary research and an extensive self-completion questionnaire. The study proceeds by examining the history and politics of the Service and the relationship of these to changes in internal policy and occupational practice. More specifically, it then considers the responses of one probation area. Therefore, the study does not separate the issue of environmental effects on an organisation and how that has consequences for policy and practice within the Service. Within the Treen policy process, an 'implementation gap' is found to exist between probation management (ACPO and above) and the front-line (probation officers and ancillaries). However, the study goes further by examining the issues of autonomy and accountability of probation staff in relation to the organisation itself , as well as other groups and agencies. Further, alterations in the roles of personnel are examined in relation to the changes which policy implies. Again, significant differences are found to exist between the two groups of staff mentioned above. In order to further understand these differences, the study then examines ‘everyday work’ and finds that discretion is a necessary feature for managing and controlling a probation work setting . In the process, the issue of the compatability of policy and practice is raised and found to be wanting. Utilising a model developed in chapter 2, the study then seeks to understand these tensions as stemming from the 'politics' of the ‘alternatives to custody industry’ with its emphasis on central control and punishment; a philosophy at odds with the Service's traditional humanitarian concerns. The study finds in the nature of policy, a need for both both uniformity and predictability in probation work. However, the working environment is found to be neither uniform nor predictable, with front-line personnel also firmly believing that they need discretion in order to exercise their duties effectively. Finally, from a further understanding of this 'politics of probation', the study finishes with beliefs on the future development of the Service.

Abstract:
Foucault's 'governmentality approach' developed the notion of 'dividing practices' (1991; see Seddon 2007) which recognises that how individuals and groups are categorised determines how they are governed. This thesis draws on critical disability studies and criminological literature on 'doing justice to difference' to develop a disability perspective in criminology, in order to analyse the governance of offenders with autism. It argues that there is descriptive and normative value in proactively categorising these groups as 'disabled' under the 'social model' of disability. The social model of disability is helpful in enabling us to distinguish between impairment and disablement. It allows us to comprehend the 'psy' literature, which explores the link between the 'symptomatology' of autism and criminality (the 'impairment branch' of the distinction) in combination with the 'interconnecting variables' (Browning and Caulfield, 2011) which lead offenders with autism into the criminal justice system and their inequitable experiences (the 'disablement branch' of the distinction). This is timely given the entrenchment of this model in the Equality Act 2010 and the inception of the Autism Act 2009, Statutory Guidance (DOH, 2010; 2015) and related policy. Using cross-method triangulation of qualitative data collected through interviews with elites and practitioners, textual analysis and court observation of eight adult defendants with autism through their court process, this thesis investigates why the status of this group as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 has been overlooked in criminal justice policy and criminal court decision-making. It examines the extent to which policy-makers and criminal justice decision-makers consider the defendant's autism in their decision-making about the defendant's case in the courts. Finally, it examines the impact of 'collateral' effects of the criminal justice process on family members who supported these defendants.

Abstract:
Media exercises incredible influence on the public; in India media appears to interfere with court proceedings. The purpose of this mixed-methods quasi-experimental study was to explore the effect of media trials on the Indian criminal justice system and to examine the relationship between court verdicts and media trials in India. The narrative policy framework was used to guide the study. Qualitative data were gathered from a variety of sources, including the court cases and the related verdicts reported by the media as media trials from 2005 to 2015. Subsequently, interviews were also conducted to collect qualitative data. Quantitative data were sourced from a survey using Likert scales. Survey and interview data were collected from 450 India-based practicing attorneys. Qualitative data were coded and themes developed. Quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation analysis. Findings indicated that media interference affects the Indian criminal justice system, often adversely. Findings may be used to help public policy making bodies formulate media guidelines about reporting crime and the justice system in India. Findings may also be used to bolster public confidence in the judicial system in India.

Abstract:
Research on spouse abuse has received greater attention during the last 3 decades around the world. This research was conducted to investigate the selected correlates of alcohol use, drug use, and marital status and the effects they have on use of weapons and violent behavior. The secondary data used was from a study done in Chicago from 1995-1998, called the Chicago Community Crime Prevention and Intimate Violence Study. There were 210 domestic violence victims studied in one Chicago area. Each victim was asked a series of the same questions. It was found that 39.4% of the domestic violence cases involved an alcohol problem, and 45.1% of them involved drugs. It was found that divorced subjects had the highest percentage of the use of a weapon (67%). In the overall cross tabulations, alcohol, drug use, and marital status were not significantly related to the use of a weapon and violent behavior. It was also found that alcohol consumption and violent behavior was significant at the .10 level of significance.

Full text
Abstract:
The research reported here is concerned with a systems science approach to evaluating and improving Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) policy toward young offenders from 1992 to 1999. The MPS were concerned at the cost effectiveness of their policy and procedures toward young offenders, and the role of other agencies in the decision-making process. A multi-methodological approach was adopted to identify the problem situation and agree an agenda for change. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and a number of other methodological techniques were used to assist in identifying the problem situation. Archive data was gathered, interviews were conducted with representatives from a number of organisations and, questionnaires were designed to investigate policy and decision-making procedures for multi-agency youth liaison panels (MAPs) operating in the Metropolitan Police District. A number of MAPS were observed and identified as case studies to inform SSM. There were three objectives to this research: firstly to evaluate the problem situation; secondly to generate an agenda for change with those involved; and thirdly to evaluate any implementation that was likely to follow. The multi-methodological approach described above was used to evaluate the decision-making used by the MPS and MAPS involved in case disposal procedures. Secondly, this approach was also used to identify changes to the decision-making policy and procedures and to debate them with the MPS and MAPS. Thirdly, the same approach was used to obtain agreement to implement and evaluate the effects of those changes. The three objectives were achieved and lessons learned from the integration of multi-methodological techniques with SSM. This approach was considered to be an appropriate means for dealing with the complexity of the problem situation and in identifying improvements to police policy and procedures. The introduction of the `gravity factor' process has led to greater consistency in police and MAP decision-making.

Full text
Abstract:
This research was focused on analyzing and interpreting the U.S. Supreme Court’s holdings in several cases that directly affect the juvenile justice system and the sentencing process of youth offenders. Drawing primarily from Miller v. Alabama (2012) and the Supreme Court’s ‘Miller doctrine’, this thesis goes against the viewpoints of many policymakers, arguing that life without parole and mandatory adult sentence minimums for youth offenders are ‘cruel and unusual’ punishments that are unconstitutional as sentencing options for a juvenile offender. In order to arrive at the conclusion that the aforementioned punishments violate a youth’s 8th Amendment right to a proportional sentence, this thesis drew from previously unavailable research in modern neuroscience that substantiates the Supreme Court’s claim that “Children are different” on a developmental basis and thus, can never possess the same degree of culpability for a crime as an adult offender. If one accepts the conclusions made in this thesis, it is a matter only of when, not if, the sentencing process for youth offenders experiences a paradigm shift on a legislative level, and becomes a much more efficient and successful process where rehabilitation becomes the foremost goal. If science and developmental psychology support the Supreme Court’s assertion that nearly all juvenile crime-activity is the result of “transient immaturity,” then why are 16 year olds being sentenced to life without the possibility of parole? This thesis explores the possible answers to this question, and anticipates the possible impediments to national changes in juvenile sentencing procedures.

Birdsall, Nathan. "Intimate partner violence victimology : factors affecting victim engagement with the police and criminal justice system." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2018. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/23106/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis concerns an examination of victim engagement with the police investigation of domestic abuse. Notwithstanding the huge efforts being made in tackling the problem by police forces across the UK, national inspections still find that the services provided to victims are “not good enough” (HMIC, 2014, p.6). Subsequently, the thesis argues that in order to build an approach around empowering victims of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), there first needs to be further research into victim engagement with the police investigation (Birdsall et al., 2016; Hoyle & Sanders, 2000). Using the rationale, the research examined 540 cases of IPV to determine which factors were significantly associated with victim engagement. It controlled for suspect charging, cross validated the results with qualitative case file information and brought together the findings through an analysis of their co-occurrence. The process resulted in distinct themes and an overall model of victim engagement. The thesis concludes that the current risk assessment used routinely by the police to identify victim vulnerability does not take into account victim engagement. The thesis therefore proposes that the factors, themes and model of victim engagement developed throughout the thesis, as well as other means of assessing victim engagement, would need to precede the DASH risk assessment to provide a more effective evaluation of victim vulnerability. Doing so would allow the police to critically communicate and provide suitable support that is applicable to all victims of IPV. Crucially, the early indication of victim withdrawal would allow the police to identify some of the most vulnerable victims of abuse who would otherwise disengage from professional support and place themselves at greater risk of harm, injury and abuse.

Full text
Abstract:
Suspects' who are held in police stations are safeguarded under the Constitutional rights of the accused in Kuwait. Despite those rights, little is known about how the police exercise their power or treat suspects held in Kuwait police custody. This thesis attempts to investigate the judicial police power with regard to detention. It also assesses the extent of the rights and fair treatment given to suspects in police custody. In particular, the thesis focuses on police discrimination against Bedoons and foreign labourer suspects. This study looked at the human rights standards in relation to police detention power and suspects' rights in police custody. This research also examines the England and Wales legal system with regard to police detention power and safeguarding suspects' rights in police custody. The aim is to suggest policies that could be feasibly transferred to Kuwait. This study was based not only upon a thorough legal analysis, but also adopted a qualitative research approach by gathering data through in-depth face-to-face interviews with thirty law enforcement officials, including lawyers. The research sought to examine police detention power as set in the Criminal Procedures and Penal Code No.17/l960 (CPPC), which included a legal evaluation within the human rights standards. In addition, the research sought to explore the sociopolitical culture of Kuwait in order to understand its culture and its impact on the legal system. This study raised a number of questions concerning police occupational culture, accountability, police interrogation techniques. and suspects' rights while in police custody in Kuwait. The research found a distinct gap between the abstract rules outlined in the Constitution and actual police practices. This study uncovered police malpractices in Kuwait and police discriminatory behaviour against Bedoons and foreign labourers. Finally. the thesis suggests some approaches that might be feasible for improving the current situation in Kuwait by drawing upon the experiences of England and Wales. These include establishing the role of a custody officer, enhancing external supervision, implementing tape recording and improving the quality of legal advice

Abstract:
The analytical and practical field of restorative justice is linked to the debates on the new social conflict management that challenge the institutional design of criminal justice and the Brazilian legal system. When starting from the problematization of the Brazilian criminal justice, we assume that the penalty under neoliberalism presents itself as a societal project that is sustained by the paradox of the potentiation of the police and penitentiary State and the minimization of the economic and social areas of action of the State. Thus, restorative justice emerges as an efficient conflict resolution mechanism, mainly because its criminal approach is based on equating relationships and repairing the damage caused to individuals and communities. In this context, this research aims at analyzing the impact of the implementation of the Restorative Justice Program of the General Department of Social and Education Actions (DEGASE, abbreviation in Portuguese) established by Ordinance 441 of September 13, 2017, within the scope of the social and education units, as well as the challenges presented to those responsible for implementing the law in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (judges, public defenders, members of the Public Prosecution Service and the DEGASE System) inthe management of restorative practices directed at juvenile offenders deprived of freedom. This problematization raises questions about the limits of the definition of crime and punishment; the relationship between criminal law; and the protection of human rights. The research is structured in three stages: systematic review of the academic field of restorative justice and the Brazilian criminal justice system; elaboration of a framework of the experiences of policies developed in the field of restorativejustice in the state of Rio de Janeiro; and the elaboration of the sociodemographic profile of adolescents and their family structure –analyzing the variables:gender, infraction, age group, monthly family income, education, family structure, and territoriality. It is expected to obtain a critical view of the state of the art of literature on restorative justice in the Brazilian criminal justice system and the debate in the field of conflict resolution criminalized by juvenile offenders served by the Restorative Justice Program of the General Department of Social and Education Actions (DEGASE).

Abstract:
An estimated 75 million people in the European Union fall victim to crime every year reflects the significant impact of criminal activities on considerable portion of the population. Crime victims may experience a range of physical, emotional, and financial consequences, underscoring the importance of effective legal frameworks, support services, and policies to address their needs. The protection of victims’ rights is a crucial aspect of the criminal justice system in the EU. The EU has taken steps to enhance the right and protection of victims through initiatives such as the Victims’ Rights Directive and the EU Strategy on Victims’ Rights. The Victims’ Rights Directive, adopted in 2012, establishes minimum standards for the rights, support, and protection of victims of crime across the EU. The Directive aims to ensure that victims are recognized, treated with respect, and have access to information, support services, and fair treatment throughout the criminal justice process. In June 2022, the European Commission conducted and evaluation of the Victims’ Rights Directive as part of its commitment outlined in the EU Strategy on Victims’ Rights 2020-2025. The Strategy focuses on enhancing victims’ rights, ensuring their effective implementation, and addressing emerging challenges in this area. Following the evaluation, on July 12, 2023, the European Commission proposed amendments to the Victims’ Rights Directive. The objective of the revision is to contribute to a well-functioning area of freedom, security, and justice, emphasizing efficient recognition of judgements, improved crime reporting, and victim-centered justice, including the improved access to compensation from the offender. In the article the evolution of victim protection in European Union law, the impact of the Victims’ Rights Directive, as well as proposed amendments to the Directive will be assessed. Since, Serbia is in the EU accession process and aligning of the national framework with the EU acquis, the article will focus on implications of proposed amendments on Serbian policy and legislation. The proposed amendments will be analyzed against National Strategy on the Rights of Victims and Witnesses of Crime in the Republic of Serbia and accompanying Action plan for 2023-2025 and its implementation results, highlighting some criticisms of the new directive’s proposal also raised by some Member States.

Abstract:
The workload of prisons and the increase in crime is not only a problem in the Republic of Serbia but in the region and the whole world. Therefore, the introduction of alternative sanctions is a step toward reducing the prison population, humanizing the sentence, reducing costs, avoiding the harmful consequences of imprisonment such as stigmatization, deprivation and privation instead of rehabilitation, a positive effect on recidivism, crime prevention, and prevention. The application of alternative criminal sanctions is only at first sight more significant only for minor, possibly moderate crimes. In the first place, that is true, because they are intended for this category of crimes - their perpetrators. However, their application is also of great importance for serious crimes, because it saves the resources of criminal justice, which can be focused on combating serious crimes. Unfortunately, we cannot say that our judicial system applies alternative sanctions exclusively in exchange for short-term imprisonment, which is indicated by the data on the number of persons who have served up to one year in prison in previous years. Statistical data for 2020 for the territory of the Republic of Serbia indicate the following application of alternative sanctions, and according to the Law on Execution of Extrajudicial Sanctions and Measures: Imprisonment served in the premises where the convict lives (house arrest with and without electronic supervision) - 3560, Probation with protective supervision- 19, Penalty of work in the public interest (decisions of the misdemeanor and criminal court) -156, Measure prohibiting leaving the apartment (house arrest) with and without electronic supervision -1066. Keywords: alternative sanctions, punishment, penal policy, excessive crime

Abstract:
The article, based on comparative historical analysis, shows that the rejection of the socialist civilizational project and the restoration of capitalism destroys traditional values and turns crimi- nal law into an instrument for expressing the interests of the criminal bourgeoisie. In the new geopolitical conditions, it is necessary to aban- don the class approach in criminal policy and ensure unconditional equality of all before the law. This means the need to strengthen the position of the state in the economy, the adoption of the Federal Law on Nationalization and the Program for the Nationalization of Eco- nomic Objects that ensure the national security of Russia.

Abstract:
As crime has become a serious cause of concern in most of Latin America, the "nothing works" era in criminal justice has given way to a shift towards evidence-based crime prevention in North America and Europe. The program evaluations conducted so far have yielded growing knowledge about what works, what does not work and what is promising, especially regarding recidivism outcomes. However, policymaking in Latin America remains ignorant to the available evidence, and most crime prevention policies, practices and programs are still being based on tradition, opinions, ideology, trends and anecdotal evidence rather than scientifically validated studies. On the basis of a review of the current literature on evidence-based crime prevention and an extensive search, analysis and systematization of the most recent program evaluations in policing, courts and corrections, this paper summarizes a series of lessons for Latin America and proposes a research and policy agenda for the region.

Abstract:
Considering the high prevalence of domestic and social violence and their linkages, the focus of this analysis is the broader subject of violence rather than the narrower one of criminal violence. A violent act may or may not contravene existing legislation and consequently may or may not be labeled as "criminal" by the criminal justice system. What triggers violence in Latin America and the Caribbean? What can be done to curb violence, both within the home and outside it? What can be learned from the region's experience with violence? To help answer these questions, this paper presents a classification of types of violence, charts some of the principal socio-economic costs that result from violence, and identifies the principal contributing or risk factors. It also attempts to link policy recommendations for reducing violence to the factors that generate it. Finally, the paper outlines broad priority areas for future action to reduce violence in the region.

Abstract:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and its Forensic Technology Center of Excellence (FTCoE) hosted the National Opioid and Emerging Drug Threats Policy and Practice Forum on July 18–19, 2019, in Washington, DC. The forum explored ways in which government agencies and programs, law enforcement officials, forensic laboratory personnel, medical examiners and coroners, researchers, and other experts can cooperate to respond to problems associated with drug abuse and misuse. Panelists from these stakeholder groups discussed ways to address concerns such as rapidly expanding crime laboratory caseloads; workforce shortages and resiliency programs; analytical challenges associated with fentanyl analogs and drug mixtures; laboratory quality control; surveillance systems to inform response; and policy related to stakeholder, research, and resource constraints. The NIJ Policy and Practice Forum built off the momentum of previous stakeholder meetings convened by NIJ and other agencies to discuss the consequences of this national epidemic, including the impact it has had on public safety, public health, and the criminal justice response. The forum discussed topics at a policy level and addressed best practices used across the forensic community.
