This presentation is designed to give officers and investigators additional information to properly investigate, document and aid victims of strangulation.  Information on the structures of the neck, force needed to cause loss of consciousness or death, physical symptoms of strangulation and tools to document strangulation injuries will be provided.  Investigative methods and documentation of strangulation for the evidence based case will be the focus of the presentation.

This session will feature a panel discussion identifying the drivers of hate and extremism and where intervention can be most effective.  It will include firsthand accounts from former extremists who will describe the factors which influenced them to become radicalized and then to subsequently denounce those beliefs.  We will hear from former extremists who previously identified with right-wing extremist and homegrown Islamist extremist ideologies. The conversation will be moderated by ADL, the country's preeminent private authority on extremism and domestic terrorism.
