Polyvictimization and Human Trafficking

Description

Join us for a Case Management Training Academy on the Intersection of Human Trafficking and Polyvictimization facilitated by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC).

Polyvictimization refers to the experience of multiple types of victimization such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, bullying, and exposure to family violence versus multiple episodes of the same kind of victimization..

The training addresses the context of polyvictimization; victims and perpetrators of polyvictimization; best practices to work with victims affected by polyvictimization using trauma-informed, ethical, and culturally appropriate practices; and the latest research and best practices to serve this population.

About CJCC

The CJCC financially and programmatically supports innovative programs and services to improve criminal justice and empower victims in the state of Georgia.

Created by the Georgia General Assembly in 1981 as an executive branch agency, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) is a statewide body established to build consensus and unity among the State's diverse and interdependent criminal justice system components. CJCC is legislatively charged with twelve areas of criminal justice coordination. Among those responsibilities is to serve as the statewide clearinghouse for criminal justice information and research, develop criminal justice legislative and executive policy proposals, and serve in an advisory capacity to the governor on issues impacting the criminal justice system.

The CJCC envisions a Georgia where criminal justice and victim service programs are just, accessible, and compassionate, and the agency’s mission is Innovating Criminal Justice—Empowering Victims.
