Proposal to Help Convene Three Policy Forums on Crime Issues for State Policy Makers

摘要

The National Governors' Association (NGA) Center for Best Practices, in conjunction with the National Institute of Justice, convened a series of three executive policy forums to help address Governors' concerns about juvenile crime. The forums, 'Combating School Violence,' 'Dealing with Violent Juvenile Offenders,' and 'Preventing Family Violence,' were designed to be highly interactive and to engage Governors' policy advisors and provide them with information on current research, best practices, and state examples. The forums were hosted by Governors' offices and attended by Governors' executive-level policymakers and advisors.
