Personal Narrative: My Love For Criminal Justice

Show More
My love for criminal justice started 17 years ago, when I was a young wife to an abusive husband. I found that the system implemented its laws of protection to help put the abuse to an end and keep my children and I safe, while going through legal processes. Due to the interaction of great people behind me, I gained love and respect for the criminal justice system and wanted to be able to help people the same way. What interests me the most about the criminal justice system is that it is so widespread, but my main love is probation and parole.
Currently I am not working, but when I was working I was employed with the Sheriff’s Department in my town and was able to witness how probation and parole officers act as a liaison to the court system,
