I am involved in the recovery of New Orleans Criminal Justice through my work with the NOPD and the City of New Orleans. I have three current BJA grants dealing with correctional reentry of offenders. In the context. of New Orleans with its murder rate this is a high stake effort. I also have been involved in the NOPD consent decree initiatives and wrote the led commentary for the CRIME REPORT on this issue. I am also assessing a large multi-state technology information exchange program in terms of outcome and efficiency models (Pegasus). Finally I am innovating a course at TUSPHTM with APHA support "Ethics in Public Health Practice and Policy." If it sounds like I am busy, I am.
