CJCC and Urban Institute co-hosted Risk Principle in Action Symposium on April 7, 2010.
The Risk Principle in Action symposium convened both local criminal justice leaders and research and practitioner experts on kiosk and GPS community supervision systems. Panelists discussed the uses of kiosk and GPS supervision systems, how they fit within an overall community supervision strategy, and the benefits and challenges associated with each system. District criminal justice representatives engaged panelists in a meaningful discussion on how to identify appropriate supervision populations for each system, manage public expectations for the impacts of these technologies on public safety, and facilitate cross-agency collaboration for effective supervision strategies.
