Decriminalizing Adolescent Speech & Contempt of Cop

In this session of our 2022 Racial Justice Training Series and Book Club, Prof. Kristin Henning and Mary Ann Scali, Executive Director of The Gault Center, were joined by Dr. Shameka Stanford, Juvenile Speech-Language Pathologist; and Duci Goncalves, Deputy Chief Counsel of the Youth Advocacy Division at Massachusetts’ Committee for Public Counsel Services.

This session was built around Chapter 7, Contempt of Cop, of Prof. Henning’s book, The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth.
