Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center
The Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center recently released its latest three year data trends report, "See the Change: Girls' Juvenile Justice Trends on the First Coast."
The report is a significant look at juvenile justice in this area, especially when it comes to the unfair way the system often treats teenage girls.
We discuss the latest trends with Lawanda Ravoira, president and CEO of the Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center, and Vanessa Patino, vice president of research and planning.
Dr. Barbara Guthrie, Professor and Director of the PhD program at Northeastern University School of Nursing, also joins us.
