A new report, &quot;Smart, Safe, Fair II&quot;, by the Justice Policy Institute examines four jurisdictions around the country that reformed its juvenile justice systems by shutting down youth prisons and replacing them with community-based approaches that can assist all youth including those who have committed a violent crime. Such successful reform efforts include the creation of broad and inclusive advocacy coalitions that include crime victims/survivors. The workshop will examine the importance of including victim/survivor voices in advocacy efforts and how to effectively work with victims/survivors.<br /><br />Presenters: <br />Tyron Walker, Director of Reentry Services, Georgetown University<br />Aswad Thomas, Vice President, Alliance for Safety and Justice National Director of Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice <br />Mai Fernandez, Executive Director, of the National Center for Victims of Crime<br />Kiersten Stewart, Director of Public Policy and Advocacy, Futures Without Violence
