Juvenile and Criminal Justice Reforms:

Post-Session Conference Presentation

 

TCJC would like to congratulate OneVoice Texas, in partnership with United Way of Greater Houston, for hosting a successful conference on Building a Stronger Community on September 26, 2011, in Houston.

TCJC’s own Ana Yáñez-Correa served as the keynote speaker, where she provided a presentation outlining how far juvenile and criminal justice reforms have come over the last decade, major smart-on-crime policies that passed during Texas’ 2011 legislative session, what must be done in the future to sustain critical reforms, and lessons learned.
