Mind the Gap – Being Gender Responsive in Criminal Justice | Kim Bogucki | TEDxJIBC

Women are the silent voice in mass incarceration, yet they are the fastest growing segment globally. By understanding what leads women into the criminal justice system versus what leads men, we can begin to address the silent voice and the needs of women in the system. With this knowledge and understanding we can implement gender responsive and trauma informed practices in all parts of the criminal justice system to break cycles of incarceration. Women are the gatekeepers to ending mass incarceration. Detective Kim Bogucki, co-founder of The IF Project, has more than 30 years of experience with the Seattle Police Department, focusing primarily in fostering community outreach and connectivity. Her self-motivated focus led her to establish and develop nationally replicated programs; “The Donut Dialogues” and “The West Side Story” were formed to effect change for the youth and homeless members of the community. Her current role is leading the work of “The IF Project”, a unique partnership with inmates at Washington Department of Corrections facilities. The introspective writing and presentations include inmate participation, both during their incarceration and after their release and re-entry. She has received numerous awards for her work that we cannot even begin to list here but including FC Seattle Reign Legends Award and Washington State Mentors Association Unsung Heroes Award. She has another program, Kind2All, which aims at creating communities of kindness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
