Community Corrections Roundtable: Using Research to Understand How the Pandemic has Changed Operations

About This Webinar

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world of community corrections, including the lives of staff and clients and impacting the way we do business. In response, practitioners, administrators and researchers have been at the frontlines of pivoting our focus understanding the scope of the virus on our work and communities and uncover how agencies have adapted to new and emerging challenges. In this roundtable, we end 2020 by speaking with an array of researchers who are steadily building evidence to support agencies in understanding the effects of the pandemic on their staff and clients, how it has reshaped practice and programming, highlighting the adaptations and innovations to respond to this crisis, and identifying the lingering issues that agencies will face as we enter 2021. The research efforts discussed in this roundtable include nation- and state-wide surveys of administrators and staff, surveys of the APPA membership, and data reflecting on the lived experiences of those on the frontlines of community supervision. Panelists will discuss the research findings to date, consider the remaining areas of inquiry, and highlight the unique ways agencies have moved in-person supervision remotely to continue supporting positive change and upholding public safety.
