The Benefit Of Becoming A Member
Reinforcing The Justice Network
Aside from the obvious tangibles such as quarterly newsletters and the right to participate in all activities of the Association, each member becomes part of a rapidly growing network of minority-oriented criminal justice professionals who are dedicated to improving all aspects of our criminal justice process.
Criminal justice and the area of public policy is where burn out is most intensive.
The network tends to become reinforced and strengthened with each new member and with each activity sponsored by the Association Regional and annual conferences help to focus national attention on the major issues confronting our justice delivery systems. Training sessions are regularly conducted utilizing leading criminal justice experts. The Association places special attention on major legislation affecting the criminal al justice system at the local, state, and federal levels. NABCJ is frequently called upon to provide testimony on pending legislation, aimed at changing some aspect of the process.
Criminal justice, be it corrections, law enforcement, probation, parole, or any of the other related areas of the system, is perhaps, the area of public policy where burn out is most intensive.
