Dear Conference Participants:

Welcome to the 29th National Conference on Preventing Crime in the Black Community. As we gather to identify and understand crime related issues affecting the black community, we do so with a fi rm and steadfast responsibility to the conference’s mission of promoting positive solutions to overcome and eliminate these problems.

We are pleased to bring the conference back to the Jacksonville area, and appreciate the support of Sheriff John Rutherford and his staff in this endeavor. Sheriff Rutherford has teamed up with my staff, cosponsors and several long time and dedicated partners for what promises to be both an educational and enjoyable week.

It continues to be among my top priorities to educate Floridians about black-on-black crime, as well as other important concerns such as human traffi cking, protecting Floridians from synthetic drugs, and to search out and prosecute those who victimize our most vulnerable citizens, especially our children. We are pleased to be able to highlight several of these concerns at this year’s conference.

Thank you for all that you do to make the conference successful, and for your continued support and commitment to these vital prevention efforts.

Sincerely,

Pam Bondi Attorney General

“Bridging the System”

There is increasing recognition that children and youth who experience violence and victimization early in life are at much greater risk of committing crimes later in life, as youth and adults. Although research and anecdotal evidence supports this victim to offender cyclical phenomenon, government agencies and NGOs still struggle to align services and responses in a way that identifi es victimization and provides early support and intervention. Leadership from the U.S. Departments of Justice’s Offi ce for Victims of Crime and Offi ce on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will share their common goals in this area and describe current policies, practices, and programs that are being put in place to “bridge the systems.”
