AMY GRIFFITH, STATEWIDE CLINICAL DIRECTOR OF MISSOURI SEXUAL OFFENSE SERVICES IN THE MISSOURI DEPT OF CORRECTIONS

From misconceptions about people who have committed sexual offenses, to educational opportunities with our children to prevent sexual violence, we can learn about ourselves from studying how society treats sex offenders. Join David Bell as he speaks with Dr. Amy Griffith for this insightful and thought-provoking discussion.

They talk about misconceptions we need to expose in order to better understand the problem.
