I am pursuing a Statistics major with a minor in International Politics. I am interested in social reform and politics, and particularly interested in the reform of the carceral system. I believe that much of crime is motivated by other structural political and social issues and thus we should destigmatize interaction with the carceral system. I was interested to see how children interacted with the justice system, and how just that system was, and I hope you are too!
