Electronic Information Sharing for Community Corrections Practitioners & their Jurisdictional I.T.
Overview
Use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the Global Justice XML Data
Model (GJXDM) are critical to a probation/parole agency’s ability to
effectively share information electronically with other justice and public
safety agencies, but they often are not well understood by those who must
implement them. Larger agencies and departments may have onsite information
technology (IT) personnel, but many small and medium-sized community
corrections entities must rely on a generalist information technologist who
serves multiple types of departments within their county or jurisdiction,
or, perhaps, they may have to rely solely on their own expertise. This
project is targeted to those smaller and medium-sized agencies who likely
have less access to new technology information.
Objective
The objective of this project is to acquaint community corrections
practitioners and their IT coordinators with technology that has been
developed to increase the effectiveness of information exchange among
justice and public safety partners, and to thus spur the use of the
technology within community corrections. This is NOT an
advanced technical specifications course! It is designed to provide
information to those whose expertise is limited but who wish to begin a
knowledge base in this area, and to foster dialogue between community
corrections practitioners and their IT coordinators.
Presentation Format
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) has awarded a grant to the American
Probation and Parole Association (APPA) to provide training on XML and GJXDM
through a series of audio teleconferences/webcasts. Each
audio teleconference/webcast was recorded and may now be viewed in its
entirety.
