September 11/Saint Paul, MN: A Time to Change: Prosecution of Predators After The Sandusky Case, and Making Institutional Environments Safer #MCLE

This presentation/workshop will address the often inadvertent but dangerous role that institutions of all kinds play in sexual violence, and how the Gerard "Jerry" Sandusky case can lend insight and much needed awareness to the issue. Participants will gain insight into how sexual predators operate, why they are often attracted to institutional environments like those that comprise academic, military, religious, child-centered and community organizations. Tips and strategies will be given into how institutions can make their environments as safe as possible, and how they can avoid the pitfalls experienced at Penn State University and elsewhere. Also discussed will be investigation and prosecution strategies that can be employed to better ensure legal vindication for victims, and the protection of the community.
