Use of Risk Assessments to Estimate Lethality

July 24, 2023

Webinar Series
3:00 pm – 5:00 pm ET
120-minute presentation 

Dangerous individuals are not always charged with dangerous crimes, yet they pose an unreasonable risk of danger to the violent crime victim, witnesses, and the community. Knowing what facts to look for, where to look, and how to present the information they find, prosecutors can reveal a more accurate portrayal of defendant risk to the court. From bail arguments to protective orders to proposing terms and conditions of probation, prosecutors can thereby take a more proactive role in fashioning conditions and consequences that fit both the crime and the criminal.
