Trauma-Informed Practices for Criminal Courts: Implementation Opportunities

#NewResource Trauma-Informed Practices for Criminal Courts: Implementation Opportunities, the Center for Justice Innovation‘s new resource, funded by the State Justice Institute, has been released.

How can criminal courts implement trauma-informed practices? This is the focus of the latest work from the Office of National Initiative’s Recovery and Reform and Gender and Family Justice team’s, whom are providing judges, clerks, bailiffs, and attorneys with guidance on responding to trauma in their courts. Trauma-Informed Practices for Criminal Courts: Implementation Opportunities documents initial lessons learned from a national scan of trauma-informed practices in criminal courts and forms the basis for the Trauma-Informed Practice Strategy Lab’s forthcoming implementation blueprint.
