Research team suggests potential driver for young men’s reincarceration

Carrie Pettus-Davis, Stephen Tripodi, and Tanya Renn highlight the need and importance of providing trauma treatment to young men leaving prison. The three scholars were recently awarded a $1.2 million grant from the National Institute of Justice to test an innovative trauma-based reentry program for young mean leaving incarceration in Northeast Florida. The goal of the project is to address trauma as a key mechanism for improving community stability and promoting psychological well-being after release.
