Subject: James Alan Fox discusses Juvenile Crime in America
Press Release
Criminal Justice expert and author James Alan Fox discusses "Locked Up /
Locked Out: America's Response to Juvenile Crime" at Cambridge Forum
Wednesday, November 29, 7:30 p.m. at First Parish, 3 Church Street,
Harvard Square, in Cambridge.
An expert on violence in America, Fox focuses his discussion on juvenile
crime and juvenile justice, in particular, the rapidly rising number of
young offenders who are tried in court as adults. He provides sobering
statistics about the rising rate of juvenile incarceration due to
mandatory sentencing and three-strikes laws, and shines a light on the
fallacy that "getting tough on crime" acts as a deterrent. In fact,
recent studies show that the likelihood of juvenile offenders committing
more serious crimes increases among those who have been incarcerated as
adults. Fox looks at the disturbing implications of recent legislation
and offers alternative approaches in the hopes of rehabilitating young
offenders rather than indoctrinating them into a life of crime.
James Alan Fox is The Lipman Family Professor of Criminal Justice and
former dean at Northeastern University. He has published 15 books,
including, "The Will to Kill: Making Sense of Senseless Murder" and "Dead
Lines: Essays in Murder and Mayhem." Fox appears frequently as a
homicide authority on programs such as The Today Show, Dateline, 20/20,
48 Hours and Oprah, and is a frequent advisor to Congress and the White
House on youth violence trends.

In January, Rep. Jarrett Barrios will be leading a large delegation to
Cuba. Within the delegation will be a contingent from Cambridge. That
group will be exploring possible future connections between Cambridge and
Cuba. The Cambridge Library is hosting an open conversation for people
interested in further connections between Cambridge and Cuba. After
short comments by Cambridge Cuban-Americans and folks who have been to
Cuba, we want to hear from others who have connections or have ideas for
the delegation and beyond. What connections do you think are important?
What connections do you have? Come and share.
