Shattering Walls Series: Community-Based Interventions

When: Thursday, May 11 - 1:00 PM

Location: WebEx

Event Details:

This webinar gives us an introductory historical examination of the intimate partner violence movement and its eventual reliance on carceral practices and policies. It will then discuss contemporary community-based interventions (commonly labeled transformative justice interventions), which build on community relationships and strengths instead of a dependence on incarceration and police interventions.
