I have 25 years of experience, and specialize in the field of child welfare and safety with specific knowledge in the areas of gangs, child abuse reporting and school safety. I have published on such topics as kids who kill; violence education and prevention and schools as potential hazards to children’s health. I have testified 12 times on topics such as child abuse mandated reporting, gang crimes and school safety. As a faculty member, I teach mental health law; forensic psychology; and life span development at the university level.
