I have spent most of my life studying the effects of the policy and procedures followed by the criminal justice system on at-risk youth – first, as one of those youths and then, through his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Criminal Justice. At work, he’s a Group Care Manager who guides a team at a non-profit organization, working to strengthen children, families and individuals by providing quality services that engage community resources to create effective solutions. I am driven to change the way youthful offenders are sentenced, so there will be more cases of these youngsters being able to find their true path in life.
