The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Law Library will hold the fourth installment of the Law Library Book Talk Series with Professor Meda Chesney-Lind, author of Juvenile Delinquency: Individual and Social Context. Professor Chesney-Lind’s talk will take place on Wednesday, February 28, from 11:45 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Law Library.

Professor Chesney-Lind is an advocate for humanitarian solutions to crime and criminal justice problems in Hawaiʻi.  She has spent more than two decades working with community-based agencies, local organizations, and legislators to develop a better correctional system in Hawaiʻi and alternatives to women’s incarceration.  Professor Chesney-Lind has published extensively on these subjects and has received national recognition for her distinguished contributions to the treatment of youth and women in the criminal justice system. The Western Society of Criminology created a new award in her honor to recognize “significant contributions to scholarship or activism on the intersection of women and crime.”

Please join us for some light refreshments and what is certain to be an inspiring and stimulating discussion.
