Enhancing Public Safety And Reducing Recidivism Rates
By Wendy McNamara
I was recently selected to serve as vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code, which reviews current trends with respect to criminal behavior, sentencing, incarceration and treatment. While the legislature is not in session, lawmakers meet and study important issues facing Hoosiers around the state. I look forward to ensuring that our criminal justice system protects the public while rehabilitating offenders. Interim study committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, can be viewed live online at iga.in.gov. This site also provides committee calendars and meeting agendas. Members of the public are welcomed to attend and testify. |
