Stalking on Campus Webinar
In recognition of September as National Campus Safety Awareness Month, we are pleased to offer a FREE webinar on Stalking on Campus, to be held September 25, 2013 from 1:00 - 2:00 PM EDT.
Research has repeatedly found that the rate of stalking on college and university campuses is higher than in the general population. In this webinar, we will look at the prevalence and dynamics of stalking on campus. Discussion will include how technology is used by stalkers and addressing the social normalization of stalking. Recommendation for enhancing campus responses to stalking will also be provided.

Civil Justice for Victims of Crime in Maryland
The National Center for Victims of Crime, in conjunction with the Maryland Crime Victim Services, Maryland Crime Victim Resource Center, National Crime Prevention Council, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, will be offering two free training seminars for criminal justice practitioners, victim advocates, SANE Nurses, mental health therapists, and other allied professionals.
The seminars, Civil Justice for Victims of Crime in Maryland, will explore how victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, child sex abuse, drunk driving, homicide, workplace violence, terrorism, elder abuse, identity theft and financial and property crimes can use civil lawsuits to obtain justice, hold responsible parties accountable, prevent future crimes, and obtain the financial resources victims need to rebuild their lives. The program will cover resources and strategies for victims considering civil lawsuits, and will include a panel of attorneys to answer specific questions of Maryland law.
The seminars run from 9:00 am to 4:30 p.m. It will be held at Public Welfare Foundation 1200 U Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20009-4443 on October 9th and at the James N.
