Cultural competence is essential in the criminal justice system to ensure fair, effective, and respectful interactions with diverse populations. This webinar will focus on enhancing awareness of cultural diversity and the impact of unconscious bias on decision-making, ultimately aiming to improve outcomes for individuals within the justice system.
Participants will learn how to identify and mitigate unconscious biases in various justice settings, including policing, probation, and court proceedings. The session will also delve into cultural barriers to engagement and rehabilitation, providing attendees with a deeper understanding of how cultural differences can influence interactions and outcomes.
By applying culturally competent strategies, criminal justice professionals can foster better communication, reduce disparities, and improve rehabilitation efforts, ensuring that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.
