Items to include in this newsletter
Understanding and Addressing Implicit Bias in the Justice System
Implicit bias is the automatic association we make between groups of people and stereotypes about those groups. None of us are immune to this and under certain conditions, these automatic associations can influence behavior, making people respond in biased ways even when they are not explicitly prejudiced. This training will demonstrate that it is possible to mend the harm that racial stereotypes do to our minds and our public safety and offer ways to address it.
Instructor: Dr. Jennifer R. Jones-Damis, PsyD, LPC
California Legislative Process
This course will focus on “how a bill becomes a law” but also why it’s important to probation and your local planning. The training will cover the basic process as well as strategic concepts used historically and legislative trends that matter to the industry. This on-demand training will aim to peel back some of the layers how and why things happen that impact your day to day work. The course will cover both legislation as well as the state budget process using probation issues as the focus. The course is designed for anyone in probation but most useful for those involved in implement new laws or conduct legislative reviews.
