Stories of Trauma and Incarceration
Individuals who are justice-involved often have trauma histories. Is there a link between victimization, trauma, and justice involvement?
The National Center created a four-part video series discussing this topic. View the series' intro video here, part one here, part two here, part three here, and part four here.
Coming soon! - We are currently producing an additional video series on the intersection of domestic violence and incarceration. Stay tuned for more information and updates as the videos go live in the upcoming months.
Roundtable Report and Summaries
The National Center distilled data from a number of roundtable transcripts focused on crime victims' needs and experiences in the criminal justice system into a number of actionable reports. It also collected summaries from each roundtable.
