The mission of WATCH is to make the justice system more effective and responsive in handling cases of violence, particularly against women and children, and to create a more informed and involved public.
Description
WATCH is a volunteer-based, nonprofit organization that monitors cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse and neglect in Hennepin County. WATCH seeks to improve the justice system's handling of cases of violence against women and children. The presence of volunteers and staff in the courtroom, combined with careful research, specific recommendations, and thoughtful reporting, have allowed WATCH to be a catalyst for improvement and change by the judiciary and other professionals working within the criminal and civil justice system.
