Leadership and Prioritization of Violence Against Women Crimes

As leaders we have to think more broadly about the interconnected nature of violence against women’s crimes and making them a priority for our agencies and departments. This course examines men’s role in committing violence in the family and men’s role in ending that violence through strong leadership, vision and effective communication.  In addition the lesson discuss how disbelief by police prevents a large percentage of rape victims from reporting.  Raising our policing standards and examining our accountability will also be part a focus of the course.
