About this event
Weigh in on the LWV Kansas
Updated Criminal Justice Position
Join us Tuesday, Jan. 5, to review proposed changes to LWV of Kansas’ Criminal Justice position.
Official League positions can get outdated. Modernizing them doesn’t require starting over with original research, writing new documents, and getting member input — known as “consensus.”
Instead, we can piggyback on other Leagues’ research – known as “concurrence.” That’s how LWVK proposes updating its 1976 Criminal Justice position. Although that position addresses both “Adult Corrections” and “Juvenile Corrections and Services,” the proposed changes only address adult corrections, including public safety practices, pretrial procedure, sentencing, and the death penalty.
LWVK’s proposed revised position focuses on integrating adult offenders back into the community. It draws on California, Minnesota and other state League positions.
