The theme of the conference was how Minnesota could reinvest the operating budget of the state&#8217;s sex offense civil commitment program&#8211;approximately $112M\/year&#8211;into more effective, evidence-based interventions to prevent and address sexual violence that are starved for funding in Minnesota. Panels of experts spoke about the importance&#8211;and significant underfunding&#8211;of victim\/survivor support services, primary prevention and education, and treatment and reentry for people convicted of sex offenses.<\/p>\n<p>Legal and treatment experts also addressed what could be done in the interim to reduce harm within the civil commitment process (e.g. timely and appropriate reductions in custody).<\/p>\n<p>The conference was attended by a very diverse group of approximately 120 people including civil commitment defense attorneys, county attorneys, victim\/survivor advocates, treatment providers, state corrections officials, and impacted people. <a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/sex-offense-litigation-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2024\/07\/Investing-in-Safety-and-Survivors-Program.pdf\">Download the program here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3292 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/sex-offense-litigation-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2024\/07\/program-cover-e1720728464771.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/sex-offense-litigation-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2024\/07\/program-cover-e1720728464771.png 697w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/sex-offense-litigation-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2024\/07\/program-cover-e1720728464771-300x269.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 7, 2024, SOLPRC and the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MNCASA) held a one-day conference titled Investing in Safety and Survivors: A Discussion of Sexual Violence Prevention and Accountability in Minnesota at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law.
