2007 National Forum

The 2007 National Forum on Criminal Justice & Public Safety took place July 29-31, 2007 in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Forum brought together state, tribal and local criminal justice practitioners and decision makers who are on the front line of the nation’s criminal justice system. Workshops and sessions covered a variety of current issues including pandemic and disaster planning, escalating gang violence and re-entry issues.

On Monday morning Forum participants gathered by region to discuss what they felt were the most pressing criminal justice issues today. To see what each group chose as the top three issues please click here.
