Summary
Lacee worked on two separate projects with Iowa Department of Human Rights - Juvenile Reentry Systems (JReS) Final Report and Service Inventory. For the JReS Final Report, Lacee helped complete the final report submitted to teh federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It looked at the successes and losses of Iowa’s program aimed at reducing recidivism (the tendency to reoffend) over the past five years. For the Service Inventory project, Lacee worked to help compile information for an online database regarding resources for youth.
