APA Webinar Featuring Joy Repella and Patrice O'Neill

 

APA Webinar Featuring Joy Repella and Patrice O'Neill (1 hour)

 

Joy Repella, Cook County, IL Assistant State's Attorney and Patrice O'Neill, CEO & Executive Producer of Not in Our Town, reprise one of the most popular workshop sessions from the 2013 National Community Prosecution Summit hosted by The Association of Prosecuting Attorneys (APA), in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the Center for Court Innovation (CCI).

Citing examples from Chicago, San Francisco, and around the country, Repella and O'Neill explore the challenges and complexities of prosecuting hate crimes, supporting victims, and working with law enforcement, targeted communities, and the broader public to build an effective community response to the violence. Not In Our Town resources referenced in the webinar include the film A Prosecutor's Stand, produced in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice COPS Office. The film will soon be available as a training and outreach tool for prosecutors, law enforcement agencies, and community partners.
