Boulder County Justice Centre and Boulder County Ageing

It was a full day with a visit to the Boulder County Justice Centre in the morning and Boulder County Ageing in the afternoon.
Discussion in the morning centred on the apprehension, sentencing and treatment of perpetrators. We were all taken with the systematic approach to treatment, the way they screen for risk factors, and the Victim Empathy programme. The latter programme is highly dependent upon having skilled therapists. Boulder is lucky to have a number of such therapists. We were a bit green!! (envy)

The afternoon centred around the needs of elderly, especially GLBT elderly.
