Session Type: Workshop
From the earliest days of our country until The latter part of the 20th century, one can argue that our criminal justice system changed relatively little. However, in the latter part of the 1900’s until now, the US and many parts of the world have embarked on substantial system reforms. Entirely new strategies have been utilized in some jurisdictions, innovative visions have materialized, inventive plans implemented and some substantial benefits realized. This workshop will discuss many of these advances.
