CJI staff, along with national victims' advocate Anne Seymore, hosted three Victims' Roundtables, one in Jackson on October 30, one in Nashville on October 31 and one in Knoxville on November 1. During the roundtables, CJI staff presented key data findings from the Data and System Assessment Presentation given earlier in the month and participants discussed gaps in the system.
