[Project.diverse] FW: Free Chick-fil-A lunch and Friday Forum on Unlocking Second Chances for Adults with Criminal Records

For those of you interested in older students, alternative settings, school-to prison pipeline type issues- there are spaces where conservatives/liberals/progressives should be able to find agreement- I keep thinking this is one of them and perhaps for juvenile justice as well. I don’t know how we got to a point in society where it is 1 in 3- although that number includes arrest status and not necessary a felonies (I think it is a 80/20 split). It is a far cry from the 1980s where the term “latchkey” kids was the issue (kids letting themselves in when they got home from school because no one was home). Not sure what the juvenile stats look like currently-but it is a similar issue from last time I visited the detention center over at Marlin- I keep thinking about the risk/protective factor framework endorsed by CDC and at one time- the rationale for SWPBIS was focused/organized around those recommendations in the context of youth violence prevention - it seems like there are lots of “ecumenical” discussions that could occur- MDB From: Susan Gates, PhD <info(a)faithandlaw.org&gt; Date: Friday, April 12, 2024 at 12:01 PM To: Burke, Mack <Mack_Burke(a)baylor.edu&gt; Subject: Free Chick-fil-A lunch and Friday Forum on Unlocking Second Chances for Adults with Criminal Records [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/5ac511ea637f68c4598ce6a4d/images/84a1b9ab-9...
