Representatives from 38 states and territories registered for the event which featured a robust agenda of high priority topics, networking opportunities and discussions.

Please join the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) and the Addiction Policy Forum for a live broadcast workshop on Monday, August 8 from 1:45 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. ET.  The workshop, "Strategies for Combating the Opioid Epidemic," will be broadcast from the National Forum on Criminal Justice in Philadelphia, PA.

The topics for discussion will include:

Join the National Criminal Justice Association webinar, "Adult Sex Offender Management and Juvenile Registration", which will cover sexual offending or sex offender management and treatment topics. This webinar is the eighth in the "What Do We Know About Sexual Offending and Sex Offender Management & Treatment?" series. 

Please join the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) on June 1 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET for the “Juvenile Treatment” webinar. This webinar will review the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of treatment for juveniles who commit a sexual offense. The webinar will focus on what is scientifically known about the impact of treatment on recidivism and will present key findings from single studies of juvenile treatment effectiveness as well as from research that synthesizes the results of many juvenile treatment effectiveness studies.

Given the prevalence of sexual offending by juveniles, and the potential links between sexually abusive behavior during adolescence or childhood and sexual offending later in life, therapeutic interventions for juveniles have become a staple of sex offender management practice in jurisdictions across the country.
