Changing Criminal Justice: Surviving,  Adapting, Succeeding

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2009 National Forum Aug. 9-11, in Bellevue, WA.
This year's Forum was a huge success!

About the National Forum

Sponsored by the National Criminal Justice Association, the IJIS Institute and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the 2009 National Forum on Criminal Justice and Public Safety is the only national conference that brings together justice and public safety practitioners with leaders from federal, state, tribal and local governments and the private sector in a neutral venue to share real life solutions that are working across the country. Last year, 93 percent of National Forum attendees reported that they learned useful ideas and strategies that they could take home and implement immediately. Ninety-five percent of attendees said the National Forum was important for their professional development.
