Description: Women’s involvement in the criminal justice system continues to rise despite recent efforts to increase access to diversion and reduce recidivism rates. This ongoing disparity is fueled by the need for gender-responsive and trauma-informed policies, practices, and programs that specifically address women’s unique pathways to offending and their experiences in the criminal justice system. The webinar will provide an overview of the six foundational elements for building gender-responsive programs that are included within the recently released resource, Adopting a Gender-Responsive Approach for Women in the Justice System: A Resource Guide.
