Conference Hosted by Marquette University Law School
With Support from the Charles Koch Foundation
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
June 3-4, 2019

In state prisons across the United States, a large majority of the inmates have been convicted of violent crimes. Violence-convicted individuals tend to provoke high levels of public fear. Lawmakers, judges, and prosecutors must be especially attuned to the threat that a person who has once perpetrated criminal violence will reoffend. At the same time, a considerable body of research now suggests that long prison terms are not always the most effective means of addressing recidivism risk.

Join us at Marquette Law School on June 3-4, 2019, to consider what evidence shows about risk assessment, treatment, and sentencing and supervision options for violence-convicted individuals. Leading social scientists and legal scholars from across the nation will share their research, illuminating the challenge posed by violent recidivism and the difficult choices that lawmakers, judges, and prosecutors must make.

Dates and Times: Monday, June 3, 2019 | 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Dinner for Conference Participants at 6:30 p.m.)

Tuesday, June 4, 2019 | 8:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Location: Lubar Center at Eckstein Hall, Marquette Law School
