July 18, 2016 - 3:00-4:30 PM ET

Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Webinar - Domestic Violence: A Pathway for Girls into the Justice System July 25, 2016 - 3:00-4:00 PM ET
In many jurisdictions, simple assault, much of which is home-based, is the most common offense among girls arrested and detained. This webinar will put this issue into the larger contexts of girls in the juvenile justice system and of laws and practices designed to address domestic violence among adults. The presenters will also discuss promising laws and practices to prevent all youth from entering the justice system for in-home assault and to divert them out of the system once arrested.

News & Notices
NPR - Mislabeled As A Memoirist, Author Asks: Whose Work Gets To Be Journalism?
Suki Kim spent 10 years researching and visiting North Korea. In 2011, she spent six months working undercover as a journalist where she secretly documented the lives of 270 of North Korea's elite at the center of the country's regime change. Kim's reporting turned into the book, Without You, There is No Us, which - much to her dismay - was marketed as a memoir. Kim argued that her investigative reporting would not have been confused for a personal narrative account were she not Korean or a woman. Click here for more information. |
