Description:

Nearly one-quarter of all Americans (23.2%) live in rural areas. Due to the isolation, geographical distances, and limited resources available to law enforcement in rural areas, the challenge of meeting the needs of crime victims is great. This workshop examines these challenges and provides an overview of the critical factors for effective delivery of victim services in rural-remote areas: assessments of the gaps in service delivery and the challenges to providing victim assistance and support; collaboration of justice professionals, victim and mental health service providers, allied professionals, and community volunteers; examination and replication of innovative technologies and practices that provide remote-rural victims with information, access, and counseling; and creativity in developing new programs and victim outreach services that will prove effective in meeting the needs of crime victims in rural-remote regions.

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.
