The Searchlight Series: Jennifer Storm

The rights of crime victims are sometimes overlooked in our criminal justice system. What is their role? How has that role been changing? What challenges face these families who, after all, have been pulled into the legal system by the violent or unlawful actions of others?

Jennifer Storm is Commonwealth Victim Advocate. She represents the rights and interests of crime victims generally throughout the Commonwealth and specifically regarding post-sentencing rights before the Board of Probation and Parole, Department of Corrections. Her office oversees notification to crime victims of the potential for inmate release and provides input to the board regarding all paroling decisions.

This event is part of Eastern State’s Searchlight Series of events addressing issues in contemporary corrections. The Searchlight Series discussions take place the first Tuesday of every month, free and open to the public. No reservations required.
