Identifying and Supervising Victims of Intimate Partner Violence
SESSION INFO
Monday, February 26, 2024
9:45 AM - 10:45 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Probation, parole, and pretrial services officers can play an important role in identifying and addressing the needs of victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) under community supervision. In addition, due to the nature of the work that officers do and the access that they have to the homes and lives of the individuals they supervise, they are also in a unique situation to recognize potential unreported cases of IPV. This session will discuss the ways community supervision provides support and safety for IPV victims through the application of Risk, Needs & Responsivity; case planning; and supervision. The presenters will share case experiences to help illustrate the complexity and flexibility needed when working with this population. Bring your tough cases and we will leave time to talk through scenarios and brainstorms options together as a group.
