Description:
This presentation examines the role of judges and court administrators in effective response to crime victims in the court process. In the conduct of the hearings and in their rulings, judges must protect and respect victims and their families, ensure due process to defendants, and impose effective sanctions on those found guilty. The court administrator manages the day-to-day operations of the court system. Court administrators and their staff play a critical role in building court capacity to support crime victims in participating in the criminal justice process. The presentation focuses on the following: creating mechanisms to increase the accessibility of court services, facilitating communications among different branches of the court, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of court procedures, and creating a safe environment for victims and other witnesses. Promising practices are presented and discussed.
Target Audience:
Ideal for victim service professionals and other criminal justice professionals (e.g., law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, probation and parole professionals). Provides participants with an introduction to the subject along with basic strategies for responding to victim/clients.
Running Time:
Variable: Optimal running time between 1 and 3 hours. However, shorter and longer times are available by special arrangement.
Audio Visual Requirements:
Voice Amplification
For large rooms or groups larger than 35, a voice amplification system would be helpful. Groups of more than 50, amplification is probably necessary. I prefer a lavaliere microphone system, but can work with a hand-held or stationary mike mounted on or near the podium.
Podiums
Generally, a full size or table top podium is preferred, however specific venues and formats may require and alternate setup. Half size table top will work as an alternative. I do like to move around during the presentation, so room around any podium set up is preferred.
LCD Projector
Presenter will supply his own LCD projector, but if possible having a second projector for back-up in case of mechanical failure is recommended.
Screen
Require a projection screen large enough so that the projected image from the lap-top presentation can be easily seen by participants in the rear of the presentation venue.
Projection Stand
Require a stand from which to project image from my LCD Projector. Stand should have a multiple-output power supply (i.e., power bar) and can accommodate a VCR if necessary.
VCR
Apart from the screen and stand described above, the presentation requires a VHS-VCR (standard models) that can be connected to the projector and to sound amplification if necessary, to play video tapes. The presenter will supply a small sound system that will provide amplification from video loud enough to be heard by audiences up to 50 people. Larger audience will require auxiliary amplification through a PA or other sound system (call to arrange for special audio needs).
In The Alternative
A TV, or series of TV’s cabled to a single VCR can be substituted for a projected image obtained through a digital projector, as long as participants can easily see the sets.
