SUMMARY:The State of Crime and Justice: Year-End Insights
DESCRIPTION:The Council on Criminal Justice \nDecember 9\, 2025: 11 am CST \nIn 2025\, U.S. criminal justice policy shifted considerably under President Trump\, marked by expanded federal authority\, Department of Justice restructuring\, grant cancellations\, and the deployment of the National Guard. Some states followed his enforcement-oriented approach while others stuck to their longstanding efforts to reduce incarceration and reform bail practices.  \nMeanwhile\, the rate of reported violent crime\, which spiked during the first years of the pandemic and began dropping in 2022\, continued to fall through the first three quarters of the year and sparked deep disagreements about the reasons for the reduction. These actions and discussions have made 2025 a year of major political and structural change.  \nJoin leaders from the Council on Criminal Justice Centering Justice project and other experts for a discussion on what the criminal justice field faced in 2025 and what we might expect in 2026.  \nContact organizers for more information.

SUMMARY:Victim Services Funding: State Solutions Amid Federal VOCA Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and CSG Midwest \nThe federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) is a vital source of funding for people and communities affected by violent crime.
