Justice Reinvestment Act Planning Moving Forward


CVSD Director, Shannon Sivell, spoke at the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission 2015-17 Justice Reinvestment Summit on April 6, 2015.  Ms. Sivell spoke on a panel with Vanessa Timmons, Executive Director of the Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence; Jayne Downing, Executive Director of  the Center for Hope and Safety;  and Carrie Naughton, Crime Survivors Program Director of Partnership for Safety and Justice. The presentation focused on the importance of investing corrections savings in services for victims. Ms. Sivell highlighted the need to direct funding to Child Abuse Intervention Centers. The summit was attended by law enforcement, prosecutors, corrections administrators and victim service providers from every county.  Oregon's Attorney General  Ellen Rosenblum closed the summit with a  great talk on victims services and victims' rights.

As part of the Justice Reinvestment Act, counties will be eligible to apply for grant funds to build and strengthen collaborations between law enforcement and community-based victim service providers.  10%  of the Justice Reinvestment Act dollars are specifically dedicated to victim services as determined by the county.   Possible uses of the funds include building capacity within local Child Abuse Intervention Centers and Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Organizations.  It is important that those of us working in child abuse intervention become involved with the local process so that the interests of child abuse intervention services are included in local plans.

Oregon is first state to include victim service funding as part of its Justice Reinvestment Act plan.  The Oregon Department of Justice, Crime Victims' Services Division has been providing technical assistance to the Criminal Justice Commission as they prepare to roll out this program.  It's exciting to have another state partner focusing on victim service funding!

We will share with you on the listserv any information we receive on how to become involved in local planning. If you have experience or tips you would like to share with the list about how you are working with your local community on Reinvestment Act planning, please send us an email!
