To work with this population, one must acknowledge that structure and behavior are inseparable and that institutions and values are co-dependents. Come examine the culture and mindset of the average resident within the Juvenile Justice Commission. Most often statistics and crime theory are used as proxies for examining trends in juvenile crime and behavior. This workshop will incorporate the emotional attitudes of the JJC residents and other at-risk youth. The presentation will feature video footage and in-person interviews, which hail from their personal experiences. (Viewer discretion advised). |
