Reentry Clinic
My research meets the criteria of evidence-based by employing the latest criminological and sociological EBPs such as prosocial modeling, collaborative problem solving and the creation of community supports to help federal releasees integrate back into society after release from prison. I look at other disciplines to inform our clinical model as well as legal arguments made in court. Finally, we set incremental goals (EBP) with the folks we work with in the federal court and also at our outreach to improve the lives of our focus group - individuals returning to high crime, low-income, mostly minority hot spot zones in Indianapolis.
