Dr. Jenkins is a former Case Manager for adult parolees in the Serious and Violent Offender Reintegration Initiative (SVORI) in Newark, NJ. His research in prisoner reentry focuses on the unique strengths of and challenges for Latino former prisoners. He has also collaborated closely with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and community groups to stem gun and gang violence in Essex County, NJ. This work with law enforcement agencies, his study of municipal police departments in Boston, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Newark, and his research on Latino former prisoners give Dr. Jenkins an appreciation for the most effective and affected members of the criminal justice process.
