On-Demand Webinar: Threat Assessment for Prosecutors: Protecting the Community from Dangerous Defendants
60-minute presentation
Dangerous individuals are not always charged with dangerous crimes, yet they pose an unreasonable risk of danger to the community. Knowing what facts to look for, where to look, and how to present the information they find, prosecutors can reveal a more accurate portrayal of defendant risk to the court. From bail arguments to protective orders to proposing terms and conditions of probation, prosecutors can thereby take a more proactive role in fashioning conditions and consequences that fit both the crime and the criminal. This program will incorporate cutting-edge research, threat assessment techniques and tactics, and use real case studies of prosecutors who were faced with threatening behavior, both verbally and physically, from dangerous defendants, to discuss best practices for resolution.
