WATCH Information

WATCH’s mission is to make the justice system more effective and responsive in handling cases of violence against women and children, and to create a more informed and involved public. WATCH is a court monitoring and research organization focused on improving how the justice system responds to crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse and neglect. WATCH trains volunteers to monitor the courts and uses the feedback to help find solutions and make improvements in court policies and procedures. WATCH offers technical assistance and training to court monitoring groups in other parts of the world through its National Association of Court Monitoring Programs. If you're interested in volunteering or have questions about WATCH please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Ellen Sackrison at watchvolunteer@watchmn.org
