Describe Your Research

My research focused on justice involved women and providing a trauma-informed approach during incarceration and post-incarceration. There is a lack of gender-specific programs that address the unique needs of women who are incarcerated. Justice involved women are more likely to experience poly victimization in their life and entering into an incarceration setting adds to their trauma. My goal is to highlight how important it is to provide trauma-informed programs that address the needs of justice involved women.
