Implementation Lessons from Children Exposed to Violence Programs
Sixty percent of American children have been exposed to violence, according to a 2009 national survey<http://listmanager.lmbps.com/t/2856111/54017561/2187/0/>. In response, the U.S. Department of Justice launched the Defending Childhood Initiative to prevent children's exposure to violence (CEV), mitigate negative impacts and raise awareness. The initiative funded eight sites around the country to institute comprehensive strategies that respond to and prevent CEV. To learn from their experiences, NIJ funded the Center for Court Innovation to evaluate six of these sites. Despite differences between programs, general lessons can provide valuable insight into implementing and sustaining a CEV program as well as information on what funders and technical assistance providers should consider when supporting large, multisite initiatives.

NIJ Releases Evaluation Findings on Defending Childhood Demonstration Sites

The National Institute of Justice<http://www.nij.gov/> (NIJ) has released "Protect, Heal, Thrive: Lessons Learned from the Defending Childhood Demonstration Program<http://listmanager.lmbps.com/t/2856783/48988826/2216/0/>." This report highlights process evaluation findings from six of the eight sites participating in the Defending Childhood Demonstration Program, a national initiative that the Department of Justice funds and OJJDP supports to address children's exposure to violence. The researchers evaluated the strategies that the six sites implemented to reduce and raise awareness about children's exposure to violence in their communities and make recommendations for jurisdictions and tribal sites planning similar work.

Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence, and Sexual Assault: Strategies to Strengthen Community Collaboration to Respond to Survivors' Needs

The prevalence of human trafficking across the country is widespread-spanning small, rural jurisdictions to sprawling cities-and affects both domestic and foreign-born children and adults. Because of the coercive and violent nature of human trafficking, it is common for victims to experience overlapping forms of victimization, particularly domestic violence and sexual assault. Yet, many survivors are unrecognized, criminalized, or do not receive adequate services to address their complex needs. How can multidisciplinary groups work together to identify survivors and direct them to services? How can key stakeholders enhance their capacity and collaboration to meet survivors' needs?

This five-part webinar series offers strategies, practical tips, case studies, and resources to help domestic violence and sexual assault service providers improve outcomes for human trafficking survivors. Each webinar highlights models for potential replication and features local and national subject matter experts.

Learning Objectives:

  *   Understand the overlap between human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual assault;
  *   Identify effective collaboration strategies that leverage culturally specific resources on behalf of survivors;
  *   Explore ways to effectively engage the justice system and community stakeholders and sustain involvement;
  *   Consider examples of partnerships to build agency capacity and enhance victim identification;
  *   Learn about examples of successful law enforcement collaborations;
  *   Identify court-based strategies to address the needs of trafficking victims and understand the role and significance of the court and judicial leadership in developing a response to human trafficking; and

  *   Explore strategies for promoting collaboration while protecting confidentiality.

US Supreme Court Decision: Ohio v. Clark
Decided June 18, 2015

FACTS:
Darius Clark sent his GF away to engage in 'prostitution' while he agreed to care for her 3-year old son, L.P., and 18-month old daughter, A.T. A day after the GF left, teachers at L.P.'s daycare discovered injuries on L.P. When questioned, the boy indicated that the Respondent/Defendant (Clark) had caused them. Clark was subsequently charged and tried on multiple counts related to the abuse of both children. At trial, the State introduced evidence of L.P.'s statements to his teachers. L.P., under Ohio rules of evidence, was deemed an "incompetent" witness and did not testify. At trial, Clark objected to the introduction of L.P.'s statements to his teachers. The trial court denied the objection and allowed in the evidence. Clark was convicted and sentenced to 28 years. Ohio state's Appellate Court reversed his conviction. Ohio's Supreme Court, on a 4-3 vote, affirmed the Appellate Court's ruling and held that under the 6th Amendment's Confrontation Clause, L.P.'s statements should not have been admitted. The US Supreme Court accepted the case and in this (unanimous) decision  REVERSES the decision of the Ohio Supreme Court, reinstating the convictions.

HOLDING:

The question in the case is whether the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause prohibited prosecutors from introducing L.P's statements to his teachers when the child was not available to be cross-examined. Because neither the child nor his teachers had the "primary purpose" of assisting in Clark's prosecution, the child's statements do not implicate the Confrontation Clause and therefore were admissible at trial.

For non-testifying witnesses, IF their statements are "testimonial": 1) the witness must be unavailable; and 2) the Defendant must have had a previous opportunity to cross-examine the witness.

To determine if statements are "testimonial," you must look at the "primary purpose" for the statement. A statement qualifies as "testimonial" if the "primary purpose" of the conversation was to "create an out-of-court substitute for trial testimony."

If the statement is NOT testimonial, state and federal rules of evidence (not the 6th Amendment) apply.

The Confrontation Clause does not bar every statement that satisfies the "primary purpose" test; it does not prohibit the introduction of out-of-court statements that would have been admissible in a criminal case at the time of founding.
