Posted: 5/30/2017 (Conference)
On Sunday, October 29th through Wednesday November 1st 2017, the International Community Corrections Association conference will feature commissioned plenary presentations as well as workshop presentations.
You are invited to submit an abstract for a conference workshop. Special consideration will be given to submissions that reflect the conference theme and topics listed below. We will also give consideration to presentations that are:
- Innovative and integrative – demonstrating the intersection of promising practices with evidence-based research.
- Cross disciplinary (emerging outside of corrections with implications for practice with justice-involved males and females)
