Training
Providing accurate, hands-on training materials for criminal justice and disability professionals is priority one for NCCJD. Our goal is to significantly raise awareness around this fact: People with disabilities are at a disadvantage in our current criminal justice system, whether as victims, witnesses, suspects, or offenders. Without appropriate training, many people with disabilities will not receive the accommodations to which they are entitled, undermining their day in court—as victims or defendants. Training serves to protect both the professional (from lawsuits or possible physical danger), as well as the safety and rights of the person with a disability.
