A blog post series by Vincent Schiraldi
In March 2018, the Emerging Adult Project at the Justice Lab organized an educational trip around Europe to consider different models of justice for emerging adults – young people between the ages of 18 to 25. The director of the Emerging Adult Project, Lael Chester, and the co-director of the Justice Lab, Vincent Schiraldi, had meetings with officials in the Netherlands and Croatia in the first part of this trip, and are now Germany with a Massachusetts delegation. This blog post series by Vincent Schiraldi shares insights and reflections from this trip as it happens.
