FSU INNOVATIONS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED

Carrie Pettus-Davis, the executive director and founder of Florida State University’s Institute for Justice Research and Development, has received the 2019 Marguerite Q. Warren and Ted B. Palmer Differential Intervention Award, presented by the American Society of Criminology on November 14, 2019 in San Francisco.

“Dr. Pettus-Davis’ work represents a new era of criminal justice intervention research,” said Jim Clark, dean of the FSU College of Social Work. “Her focus on including formerly incarcerated persons in the research design and her emphasis on intervention that promotes whole-person health and social intervention are especially significant.
She is courageous to take important ideas and translate them into testable, scalable and sustainable interventions and programs.”
