Conference: The Rise of Proactive Police Stings & How to Stop Them (Kathleen Hambrick, 2021)

This training workshop was presented by Kathleen Hambrick at the NARSOL 2021 National Conference in Houston, Texas. Have you heard about proactive stings but want to get the facts? Or are you a victim, or know someone who is, and want to help advocate against the practice? Kathleen Hambrick guides us through the process, from entrapment to registry. She discusses why and how it happens, and why law enforcement and the news media are invested in keeping the public in the dark. She concludes by explaining how to turn the tables on these kinds of stings, and what needs to happen to make them stop. <br> <br>Persons not ensnared in these stings are mostly unaware of the tactics used by law enforcement and the challenges faced by those they target. Many people find it hard to believe the accused, thinking our government wouldn't possibly employ such unethical tactics on purpose. In this session, Kathleen also addresses federal funding per arrests and prosecutions and shows how our government profits from these stings. <br> <br>NARSOL is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization exclusively dedicated to defending the constitutional liberties of registered citizens and their families.NARSOL opposes dehumanizing registries and works to eliminate discrimination, banishment, and vigilantism against persons accused or convicted of sexual offenses through the use of impact litigation, public education, legislative advocacy, and media outreach in order to reintegrate and reconcile affected individuals and restore their constitutional rights. <br> <br>NARSOL: https://narsol.org <br> <br>NARSOL Resources: https://resources.narsol.org <br> <br>Join NARSOL: https://secure.narsol.org/join-narsol/ <br> <br>Volunteer: https://narsol.org/volunteer/ <br> <br>Support NARSOL with Amazon Smile: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/47-3285181
