Listening Session - April 23, 2020

Crime and Justice during and after coronavirus

During the ongoing pandemic, incidences of certain criminal behavior have increased when compared with past years’ data. This includes domestic violence, child abuse, and burglaries. Our court system has also had to make changes to its procedures in response to the pandemic.

What are the short-term and long-term worries of #ClackCo residents with regard to crime because of the effects of the pandemic? What about our court system? What should county priorities be in these areas, both now and later?
