Understanding and assessing systemic change plays a key role in ensuring courts are delivering equal justice to all. This three-part webinar series, “Jumpstarting Your State’s Pretrial Improvement,” takes a look at the history and legal foundations of pretrial release, along with research, challenges and opportunities associated with this method of supervision.
This second session, “Research on Pretrial Assessment, Release, and Detention,” will cover information essential for advancing the pretrial system in your state. Topics will include the empirical research, important issues and practical considerations of pretrial assessment; actuarial assessment tools, including bias and disparity; the effectiveness of pretrial release conditions; and the harms of pretrial detention. Participants will understand how the empirical research has supported the historical and legal foundations of the pretrial system in the United States.
This webinar is presented by the Blueprint for Racial Justice Systemic Change work group.
