Dr. Rosay interviewed by KNBA

Dr. André Rosay, Justice Center Interim Director, was interviewed on "KNBA Public Forum" on July 7, 2008, regarding the issue of disproportionate minority contact in the juvenile justice system. Minority youth are overrepresented in the system, and the upcoming "Second Forum on Minority Overrepresentation in the Juvenile Justice System: Realizing Just Solutions," seeks to bring together local experts and community members to share information on the problem and their vision for solutions. The event July 10 and 11 is presented by the Justice Center and organized in conjunction with the Alaska Native Justice Center and other community partners. Dr. Rosay was interviewed along with Deborah Wing, Director of Program Operations for the Alaska Native Justice Center.
