ACESs Informed Law Enforcement, Prosecution and Courts

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adverse Community Environments (ACEs) can have profoundly negative impacts on children and increase the likelihood that these children will end up in the courtroom as a victim or a defendant. In this presentation, a North Carolina District Attorney of a rural and suburban district will explore best practices and strategies for addressing adverse consequences within the legal system. The process of bringing law enforcement, the defense, the prosecution, and the court system together to create a more trauma-informed justice system that has won state-wide recognition for its efforts will be discussed.
