Achieving Justice before Violence Occurs

Returning to the connection between psychology and criminology, this episode turns to the expertise of Dr. Melanie D. Hetzel-Riggin, focusing on violence and prevention. So often in society we bypass targeting the steps of stopping something from happening or arising and only focus on the crime itself. We discuss what needs to happen at earlier stages in order to really make an impactful change.  FULL TRANSCRIPT: https://sites.psu.edu/womenandjusticetranscripts/episode-15-achieving-justice-before-violence-occurs/ "Intro Music Summer canvas" by Andy_Gambino is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
