Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
When an adult is accused of sexually abusing a child, the public call for punishment is usually swift. But when a child sexually abuses another child, the response isn’t so straightforward. Now, Maryland is considering tough new measures against juvenile sex offenders. We hear from a parent activist and explore the latest research on rehabilitation for young offenders.
Guests
- Michele Hunter Parent and advocate of MD juvenile sex offender legislation
- Dr. John Hunter Research associate professor, Department of Psychology, University of Virginia
- Delmas Wood Area Director for Montgomery, Howard, Frederick and Carroll Counties, Maryland Department of Juvenile Services
