Leveraging Relationships:
The Role of the Advocate in Tracking System Response
|
|
Over the past four decades of system reform efforts in the criminal legal system, advocates have recognized the importance of developing relationships with system partners. Many advocacy programs have worked diligently to overcome difficult history with judges, prosecutors, law enforcement or others. The more we have learned about practitioner's experiences with responding to domestic violence crimes the more we have come to understand the demands of their jobs and identified common goals.
Although some collective goals have been achieved because of these relationships, the values and goals of advocates and system practitioners are not always aligned. Bringing problematic responses and outcomes to the attention of our system partners, while preserving and respecting those relationships, can be a difficult task. Attend our upcoming webinar to hear from two community-based advocates who have taken on this challenging work. Guest presenters (bios below) will talk about:

Through her advocacy experience and knowledge of the criminal legal system, Bree participated in the development and enhancement of the St. Paul Blueprint for Safety and the creation of its companion piece, The Distinct and Vital Role of a Legal and System Advocate. She facilitates focus groups of women to ensure victim/survivor experiences remain at the forefront of any response designed to serve them and incorporates such when training locally, statewide and nationally.
