1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.: Criminal Justice Responses to COVID-19
Panel Available here: Record Abstract: The spread and response to COVID-19 has prompted substantial changes in government, the criminal justice system, and administration of policies. Our panelists present a variety of experiences and perspectives as it relates to COVID-19. Major Ryan Mills supervises one of Kansas City PD’s six patrol divisions and discusses the challenges faced by a major city police department. Dr. Randa Matusiak presents a slightly broader perspective from her role as a researcher in county government focused on several components of public protection. Finally, Dr. Joseph Schafer, Dr. Michael Kyle, and Dr. David White highlight their experiences conducting a research project during a global pandemic. |

2:15 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.: A Tribute to Michael Leiber: Research on Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Juvenile Court
Panel Available here: Record Abstract: Following his unexpected passing in early 2020, Dr. Michael J. Leiber will be remembered not only for his impact as a respected colleague, collaborator, mentor, and friend, but above all, for his distinguished scholarship and career in the field of juvenile justice. Dr. Leiber’s involvement in MCJA was wide-ranging and spanned over three decades. He was President of the association in 2003, Editor of MCJA’s official publication (The Journal of Crime and Justice) from 2010-2019, recipient of the Tom Castellano Award in 2013 for dedicated service to MCJA, and presented papers each year at the annual meetings. We honor his legacy in this panel with three presentations, two of which are his final manuscripts accepted for publication this year, and the third is a manuscript that will be included in a forthcoming JC&J special issue dedicated to his work. MCJA is grateful for Dr. Leiber’s contributions, guidance, and mentorship throughout the years. |

3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.: Presidential Roundtable - Bridging Research and Theory to Practice
Panel Available Here: Record Abstract: A key function of criminology and criminal justice research is to promote good policy and procedures, motivated by evidence based practices. This often requires a good working relationship between researchers, practitioners, and institutions. However, this can also be difficult to navigate, from gaining access to seeing research results implemented as policy or procedural change. This roundtable will address experiences in working with practitioners and academics, and how those experiences can be translated into advice and tips for bridging research to policy. |
