Empathy in the Post-Conviction Phase of the Criminal Justice System: Why?
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, January 28, 2025
4:15 PM - 5:15 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Empathy can be a difficult concept to implement even among the best of practitioners, especially in the post conviction phase of the criminal justice system. Often, victims of crime don't understand the probation, parole or community corrections system or "truth in sentencing" and practitioners receive their anger. This workshop will provide professionals with the tools to help them recognize how to respond to victims and show some of the most effective ways to create empathy awareness with specific offender populations.
