Gender Matters in Community Supervision – An in-depth look at the Women’s Risk Needs Assessment (WRNA)

On August 10, 2023, Dr. Emily Salisbury and NIC staff Belinda Stewart and Katie Reick collaborated on a presentation at the American Correctional Association’s Congress of Correction.  This presentation touched on the gender responsive work that NIC has sponsored and why gender matters when working with women involved in the criminal justice system.  This presentation led to a dynamic discussion with participants about their work with women in the criminal justice system and the needs they see.
