SUMMARY:Within These Walls: Investigating and Prosecuting the In-School Sexual Assault Case
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nJoin Zero Abuse Project (ZAP) this December for the End of Year Prosecutor Webinar Series\, brought to you by the Trauma-informed Prosecutor Project (TiPP)\, funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Our December Prosecutor Institute promises to be an insightful journey\, spanning three weeks and encompassing six crucial topics. To accommodate participants across different time zones\, each topic will be presented twice on its designated day. Be sure to register separately for each training session you wish to attend. \nWhat every parent fears: an alert from their children’s school\, notifying them of some event like an active shooter. Schools train\, drill\, and have alerts for active shooters\, fires\, and other disasters; however\, when it comes to addressing in-school sexual assaults – particularly those committed by students – most schools find themselves with no plan. This leads to problems for investigators\, prosecutors and school officials as they try to achieve justice for survivors and keep the school environment safe. This presentation will focus on building strong cases when a sexual assault occurs in a school environment\, with a focus on evidence collection\, obtaining digital evidence and navigating school policies. Attendees will be encouraged to think about specialized legal proceedings like waiver hearings (trying juveniles as adults). Finally\, we will discuss unique trial issues\, including witness intimidation\, working with reluctant witnesses\, and overcoming juror biases. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDevelop investigative strategies for working on school-environment sexual assaults that are perpetrated by students.\nFormulate a plan for multi-disciplinary decision-making and charging decisions\, particularly when the offender is a minor.\nAddress trial issues\, such as witness intimidation and uncooperative witnesses.\n\nAbout Presenter\nKristina Korobov – Senior Attorney \nKristina Korobov is a Senior Attorney with Zero Abuse Project.  She joined the team in July of 2023.  She brings over 20 years of experience as a Prosecutor and Trainer in the areas of crimes against children and crimes of sexual and domestic violence against adults. \nMost recently\, Kristina served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. There\, she was the Project Safe Childhood Coordinator\, prosecuting cases involving internet crimes against children and sex trafficking of minors.  These prosecutions included sextortion\, child solicitation\, and hands-on offenses\, as well as crimes involving trafficking in child sexual abuse material. She worked cases with the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and served as the co-chair for the state’s anti-trafficking task force (IPATH). \nRegister through ZAP

SUMMARY:CornerHouse Winter Webinar Week: Strangulation - What You Don't Know Can Kill You
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nStrangulation and suffocation often occur within abusive and violent relationships and acts. Often the victim doesn’t recognize signs and symptoms such as loss of consciousness\, labored breathing\, horse and rasping vocalizations and delayed symptoms such as dizziness\, nausea and blood clots. Unfortunately\, many professionals also miss the symptoms and fail to screen for strangulation and/or suffocation. If you work with victims of child abuse\, domestic violence\, sexual assault and general assault\, adding screening questions is imperative. Not only is strangulation a felony\, it is also potentially deadly immediately and delayed for victims. Please join to be introduced to the basics of strangulation and suffocation. \nLearning Objectives\n\n\nIdentify signs and symptoms of strangulation and suffocation. \n\n\nLearn some screening questions when working with victims. \n\n\nRecognize risk factors that are related to strangulation and suffocation. \n\n\nRegister through CornerHouse

SUMMARY:Do They Have the Courage to Convict? Jury Selection in Child Sexual Abuse Case
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nJoin Zero Abuse Project this December for the End of Year Prosecutor Webinar Series\, brought to you by the Trauma-informed Prosecutor Project (TiPP)\, funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Our December Prosecutor Institute promises to be an insightful journey\, spanning three weeks and encompassing six crucial topics. To accommodate participants across different time zones\, each topic will be presented twice on its designated day. Be sure to register separately for each training session you wish to attend. \nNo matter how strong your case is\, prosecutors should never underestimate the importance of selecting a jury. Misconceptions and myths about child sexual abuse can prejudice jurors against your case\, affecting their ability to assess the facts. Some jurors\, no matter what they say in jury selection\, may simply never be able to convict an offender\, even if the evidence has proven the case beyond a reasonable doubt. In this presentation\, attendees will learn how to address public opinion and to plan a strategy for choosing jurors who can fairly evaluate evidence. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify public beliefs that prove problematic for jurors deciding a child sexual abuse case.\nDevelop an overall plan for jury selection based on the facts of your case.\nFormulate questions designed to elicit truthful feedback from prospective jurors.\n\nAbout Presenter\nKristina Korobov – Senior Attorney \nKristina Korobov is a Senior Attorney with Zero Abuse Project.  She joined the team in July of 2023.  She brings over 20 years of experience as a Prosecutor and Trainer in the areas of crimes against children and crimes of sexual and domestic violence against adults. \nMost recently\, Kristina served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana.

SUMMARY:APSAC The Legal System Response to Child Maltreatment
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nLegal actions are perhaps the most powerful responses to child maltreatment. Criminal and child protection investigation and forensic interviewing can provide the evidence needed to support a child victim’s disclosure. Prosecution of child maltreatment can hold perpetrators accountable. Juvenile and family court actions can provide for children’s safety and oversee their care in state custody and journey to a permanent home. This commentary introduces readers to a special issue of the journal Child Maltreatment that focuses on the legal system response to child abuse and neglect. We provide an overview of the issue’s 11 research articles and additional commentary piece. These works provide crucial new knowledge on gaining information from child victims involved in the legal system\, on the law enforcement and prosecution response to child maltreatment\, and on the legal framework supporting child protection. \nRegister through APSAC
