A presentation on young adults in the criminal justice system by Shae Harris, the Policy Advisor for the Deputy Mayor of Public Safety and Justice in Washington, D.C.
An emerging field focusing on young adults (18-24) within the criminal justice system has presented an opportunity to reimagine how justice involved young adults are treated. Brain science tells us that brain development continues through age 25, and yet many of the policies related to this age demographic have not changed. There is a new found momentum to study and assess the policies that impact this specialized population. The presentation will look at the historical context, data, and emerging practices in DC and Maryland as it relates to this.
Shae Harris is the Policy Advisor for the Deputy Mayor of Public Safety and Justice in Washington, D.C., where she informs policies for people touched by the criminal justice system. In her role, she conducts in-depth research, analyzes programmatic initiatives related to returning citizens, and serves as the liaison between community-based organizations and local/national stakeholders within the reentry community. Shae strongly believes that systemic change happens at the policy-level, which prompted her to obtain her Master of Public Administration from American University. She also holds Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from North Carolina A&T State University, and received a Nonprofit Executive Management Certificate from Georgetown University. Shae previously served as the Deputy Director at the Mayor’s Office on Returning Citizen Affairs in D.C., and in various capacities in the nonprofit sector where her efforts were dedicated to transforming the lives of the District’s most vulnerable residents. She has a wealth of experience from working to improve the lives of marginalized and underserved populations in the District, and sincerely believes that we are the change-agents that we are seeking.
