Sept. 11 – Laurie Jo Reynolds: “We Shouldn’t Have Criminal Justice Policies We Are Afraid to Talk About”

In order to evaluate state responses to sexual abuse and violence, it is necessary to know what the policies are. In the 1990s, state legislatures began establishing public registries, public exclusion zones and laws restricting housing, employment, education, travel, loitering and even holiday activity. Some states now have up to five different conviction registries.

This talk by artist Laurie Jo Reynolds uses artistic and cultural approaches to consider some of the unintended consequences of public registration and notification laws, and related restrictions, and how they represent a missed opportunity for both prevention and justice.
