My work focuses on juvenile crime and justice system sanctioning;

juvenile reentry, aftercare and parole; community-based correctional program development,

implementation and assessment; and drug involvement and crime among inner-city adolescents.

My overall objective is to contribute to the state of knowledge regarding the efficacy of

community-based approaches and reintegration strategies focused on adolescents involved in

corrections.
