Update: 2018-03-07
Description
Alexandra Cox is a lecturer in sociology at the University of Essex and the author of Trapped in a Vise: The Consequences of Confinement for Young People. The book begins in 2003 when she became a caseworker in the public defender’s office in Harlem. She’s worked in criminal justice reform including with raise the age and close to home program in New York.
She joins us to give a crash course in how juvenile justice in the state has yet to escape a century-old habit of often doing more harm than good – as well as how kids across the state stand to lose if proposed state budget cuts to Close to Home go through.
