How do we engage in risk assessments of conflict and harm that do not expose each other to state violence? This webinar defines safety and risk through an abolitionist lens and offers alternatives to mandatory reporting and carceral risk assessment.
This webinar is co-presented with Shannon Perez-Darby of Accountable Communities Consortium and Mandatory Reporting is Not Neutral.
We discuss the challenges associated with traditional risk assessment modalities, as well as the pitfalls of mandated reporting and state overinvolvement in harm response. In this webinar we offer concrete strategies for discerning risks and keeping each other safe as we address tension, conflict, harm, and abuse in community.
