During the Spring 2013 semester, I was granted the opportunity to intern at Denton County Juvenile Probation. This institution is responsible for delinquent juveniles that have committed a criminal act. The institution consists of several departments: intake, the court, detention, the POST adjudication program, and JJAEP (Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program). My intern experience consisted of working with juveniles placed in the Courage to Change (CTC) POST adjudication, which is a diversion program of the Texas Juvenile Detention Department (TJJD). However, while interning, I was able to experience the many facets of the juvenile justice system, from the juveniles’ entry into Denton County Juvenile Detention Center, all the way to their release from the Courage to Change program and their re-entry back into society. For the majority of my time as an intern, I worked under the caseworkers in the CTC program, which managed the majority of casework load for each juvenile that was sentenced to the program. The daily activities that I performed while interning included: filing of room checks, group work, and case file information, while also helping the caseworkers fulfill any code greens (memos to the caseworkers from the residents for needed materials or to notify them of any information).…

In addition, it would be sad to be stuck in freshman classes as a senior four years down the road.…

Take a reasonable number of credits and try one or two activities your ...…
I plan to attend graduate school in the fall to pursue a master’s in public policy and administration with a specialization in criminal justice policy and administration. The program will prepare me for a public service career promoting criminal justice reform through program and policy work. Although the Research Internship will primarily support The Opportunity Agenda’s poverty and immigration initiatives; poverty, immigration, and the criminal justice system are all linked, and the experience will help me to continue to develop the problem-solving and integrity skills that I will need in the future to make an…
with students, military cadre having sex with recruits and criminal justice employees having sex with offenders seems to be in the reports of the news media every day. In recent years, the Department of Public Safety has certainly had their share of this crisis. Agencies dedicated to administrating justice should not be in the business of dispensing sex. Even so, the department faces one scandal after another over staff having sexual contact with inmates, offenders and juveniles.…
